1. I have never heard of them helping the turbo to spool faster.

2. A benefit is that it lets off excess boost pressure.

Do you have an AUTO trans or MAN trans? If an AUTO trans, it will only go off once you let off the gas pedal.

3. Look in the FOR SALE section of this forum there is one for sale there. Also check over on Volvospeed there may or may not be a few still for sale over there.

TURBO XS Type H-RFL is what I have they are known to leak. I own a 99 s70. I don't know if mine does, but I would get an HKS SSQV.

- http://www.volvomotorsports.com (They sell like two different BOV's)
- TIAL, sorry I don't know the website or where some of the VS got theirs. So do a SEARCH.
- Ebay has many on there, go SEARCHING
- FORGE Dump Valve, http://www.forgemotorsport.com/conte...3&catalog=0008

Check Volvospeed for more info on FORGE products.

Yes they are knock offs. I would say they are still good. If you want the real deal pay the real bucks.
