He said that the diaphragm was replaceable, but for $9 my price...I may just replace the valve...it is just screwed onto the butterfly assembly. First I'm going to take the whole assembly off and clean and lube it really well and see if that solves the occassional sticking. If it continues, I will just change out the VCV. I probably should replace the little Summit filter I have on it with the K&N like you use or similar.
Thanks everyone for your input!
Cool, let us know if this takes care of your problem. Thanks. Bob

I have the big Red Procharger Race by-pass and i'm already sick of it after only 1 day of driving the car. My car sounds like a giant snake driving down the road. I have a Mondo sitting here so I may have to swap over to it, Kp-what filter are using on the Mondo?

You can adjust the screw on top to get rid of this.

But Jake won't adjusting the screw on top close the valve? Shouldn't it be open all the time?

Its for stalking Cobras. We couldn't figure out a way to make it sound like a mongoose.

cleaned up the "old-style" ProFlow bypass valve w/ carb cleaner...sprayed down the moving parts w/ SeaFoam Deep Creep for lubrication...re-installed w/ new K & N filter...so far, so good...
if the valve does stick again, I have a new Borg-Warner replacement valve waiting...I will just have to modify the "actuator arm" to match the modification that ProCharger does to make it operate the butterfly...

andereck...what is the procedure for checking the setting of the adjustment screw on the valve? Do you run it all the way in or out and then so many turns back or what?

You just need to adjust the screw so the valve can't go over center when its open. If it did you would be a touch down on boost......

I could probably fit it on your J bypass pipe if you want to send it over.

I think your thinking of the turbo bov sound. I don't think you can get a procharged set-up to sound like that? My race bypass valve sounds like a f***ing velosoraptor, fluttering and hissing. It's pretty mean sounding. It might be a little much for daily driving. If I get tired of it, I'll put a filter on it.
