For the clutch concern questions. You don't NEED a better clutch to enjoy this mod at stock or even typical Trifecta tune power levels. However if you have found yourself close to the 180+whp level you will be hugging the line of the stock POS clutch's capacity.
The reason is right at the heart of this mod. Being that you will now see your peak power engage almost the instant you lay back into the throttle as you let out the clutch, if you are shifting in the powerband. ESPECIALLY during downshifts, which is quite invigorating now.
The short-term solution is to just modify your behavior with the throttle if you notice any slipping. But we all know it'll be a matter of time before you learn the exact limit of what you can put through you clutch and that will shorten it's life rapidly.
It's never too early to start saving up for whatever clutch options are gonna be best for you.

Agreed, very nice write up! I will probably do this due to all the awesome results... Just curious if it will help my car from boosting all kinds of random boosts high and low and instead flow it will the peddle better. I'd love that.

Vacuum hoses act like chinese fingertraps sometimes. The harder you pull, the more they bite down.
I've learned through the years that it's best to first try to spin them on their nozzle, to break their seal. Then if they still won't budge, try to pry them on the hose end with a flathead. Be cautious though. Don't pry so much as push down with the flathead wedge.

It depends on how much trq you're making. My car was making over 250 trq before I did this mod. That's already pushing the limits of the clutch. Based on graph posted on the forum, most BPU/tune guys on here make 190-205 trq.
The BOV is NOT a component of boost control. The ECM controls boost via a solenoid connected to the wastegate. Doing this mod should not effect peak boost, and if it does it is slight.

That makes sense, I will be doing this ASAP. Thank you very much for giving me yet another mod that I can look forward to
I will be putting a screen into my intake, getting my exhaust moved a tad so it doesn't hit under my car, and doing this same day! Sweet!

It may take away one of its extreme countermeasures away in the rare event limp home mode is activated by the PCM (depends what measures GM programmed in).
Personally being an ETC vehicle I'm not worried about it. Limp mode will cause the throttle to close and probably command the wastegate to dump boost. Adequate countermeasures on their own and when the throttle closes the BPV will open.
