    So, I recieved this message today...

    So I just looked under my hood and realized that im missing a bolt on my blow off valve. I think I can hear a boost leak. You know how to fix this?

    Well, I have been doing some research and am yet to really find a similar situation... Wouldnt the solution be to replace his bolt?

    The car is an 02 wrx, stage 2, GFB Go Fast Bits Blow Off Valve...

    Let me know if you guys have any idea as it is his only means of transportation.

    The intercooler itself is stripped, you are going to need a helicoil or timecert. Its just soft aluminum, so its easy to strip.
