Can someone explain this to me?
« on: May 05, 2010, 01:18:44 pm »
Found this on ebay whilst scouting about. According to the auction, its needed if doing a m45 conversion but i have no idea what it is!!!

Much love :)

it's essentially what the boost return valve on a g40 does.  Perhaps needed for an m45 conversion on some engines but a g40 already has a boost return valve.

I know I wouldn't buy a second hand one of these, dead common failure on Cooper S.
