Secondly since me being in tx state inspection eventually expires but to make a long story short I've had to replace the plenum gaskets so that would make the pending codes ( bank 1 and bank 2 p1074 p1071) those were the codes PENDING but anyway
I'm still waiting for the jeep to have enough miles to be readiness complete.......

My JK is running much more reliably now with the Kayser valve, but I've only got one week of driving on it thus far so this could change.

I do believe one thing - the Vortec BOV was not a good choice for our JKs as it would either release way too early or erratically. I think it's been responsible for months and months of extremely frustrating and temperamental behavior in my RIPP system. If anyone else is still experiencing weird power hesitations while accelerating, I would recommend this as a place to begin troubleshooting. To test, pull the sensor hose off the top of the Vortec BOV leading to vacuum and "plug" the hose temporarily with a bolt, screw, etc - then test drive. If the acceleration is smoother and stronger, there's a good chance your Vortec is either bad or maybe better stated, ill-equipped to deal with our under hood environments. You should replace it.

The new Kayser diverter:

Kayser installed (Note: that your JK won't have the "neat" whistle anymore - this diverter makes more of a flapping sound when releasing boost, but at least it WORKS!!) :

Anyone want a $275 Vortec Maxflow® Racing Bypass/Blow-off Valve that is Vortec approved? It makes a neat whistling sound, and I'll give you a good deal.

Who is the manufacturer of your BOV (and do you have a model number)?



This place sells them:
