BF is a color choice for the hhr,which is blue flash. to fix my boost leak problem the dealer took a good ic pipe of the the BF car and put it on my car. blackout is the name of my car lol.

also just got off the phone with hrc. they said it could be due to the air quality and heat here in texas is why i'm seeing the increase in boost.

Did they say they had it on order or did they just go ahead and take one off a SS they had on the lot?

took it off another one they had on the lot. that part is not being made and no one knows when it will be made.in other words it's on back order.

Good thing I didn't buy a SS in Texas! LOL!

Hopefully I don't need a donor myself....

OK, I'm lost. I thought heat was the enemy, and that's why you need the IC to increase the fuel/air mix density.

That and to put a big thing full of explosive matter right out in the front of your vehicle.... RAMMING SPEED!!!
