Getting on the freeway accelerating from 4th to 5th I feel this suddenÂ* :shock: surge and loss of power.Â* Kind of like hitting a wall at 60mph.Â* I’mÂ* like WTH, the cars still running.Â* Hmmm something not right seems like I losing power.Â* Getting off the freeway I can finally hear it.Â* Great it sounds like I blew a hose.Â* I get to a point were I can finally pop the hood and I see my GFB’s hat sticking into the radiator shroud.Â* I guess it couldn’t live forever, 70k+ or more on it couldn’t be that bad.

Damn. That's sucks man. At least you weren't in the middle of traffic er nothing. How high you boostin? 70k lifespan for a bov doesn't seem so bad tho.

I never had any problems with my GFB. I wrote GFB about the incident and they said they would replace the BOV 8) 8). All I can say is WOW, IMO this company gets a big thumbs up from me.
