The 1g bov crushed has been proven to handel 21psi with out leaking , Its the 2g BOVs that were made of plastic that sucked . as for the comment on the IC i can agree, But if your looking for some thing cheap and still good then its a option Im glad to see Im not the only person to go from a DSM to a contour. mine was a 91 AWD 5spd white 2g are nice but 1gs look mean Any ways the 14b (TD05H) would start to crap out past 16psi in the higher RPM . Has any one thought of maybe grabing 2 8b turbos from a 3000gt make a TT 2.5 ?

Umm... do a search for twin turbo. You will see why.

The SVT has a better top-end, but the GSX would crush it from the light and basically would kill it in the 1/4.
If both carrs were crusing at 100mph down the-way my SVT would walk my old GSX all the way to 150mph.

Your BOV was leaking or the turbo was.
A solid 14B can make power up to 18 maybe 19psi before it's doing nothing but pushing hot air.
Since the engine is question a 2L Zetec with HIGHER COMPRESSION then the 4G63 the 14B will defintely make more power then they can handle.
I can't believe how many DSM owners swear by the so so 1G BOV. It's decent for a stock valve but it's not that great.

also i just had a thought about my turbo setup. what if i run a water/air intercooler instead of an air/air intercooler. then i wouldnt have to mount it up front blocking the radiotor. how efficient are they. its just a thought.
I used to be a tech for a Chevy/Infinity dealership about 10 years ago. I had the pleasure of driving vettes then (as a young azzed PUNK!  ) not to mention a couple of Corvette ZR-1's 
I remember having to test drive one because the owner (old azsed man) kept complaining about the brakes. The car was maybe 3 years old with low miles. There was nothing wrong with the brakes, it just needed to be driven. So I turned on the power key to kick it up to max power with all 16 injectors firing, then hit the road. I hit about 85 MPH at the top of 2nd gear and then shifted to third. I held it a moment then hit the brakes. That motha fugga stopped so damned fast I had to catch up with my teeth!
I still have never driven a more satisfying car than that.
 That double overhead cam v8 with 400 HP was the shiznit then and probably still is since it was all NA power. Actually they came in 375HP andf 405HP the last year.
So yeah, I know how it feels. How long has it taken Chevy to produce another 400 HP corvette? 
The second fasted car I've ever been in was a nice assed 97 or 98 Toyota supra manual.

If the cars were equal HP, yeah, no doubt you're car and mine both would walk a GSX, but put ur car against an evenly matched GST and it'll be pretty close. GSX's are quick cars, not nessecarily fast. Those AWD drive trains really hold back on being fast. But are deadly from a dig. I drive my sisters 2G GST from time to time and that thing can rocket. They are nice cars if they are properly maintained.

And mine will walk both your cars even tied together.
