Fixed vias, on boosted = huge difference.
Guy i fixed my vias 2 times before I boosted with the jb weld fix but kept breaking.So, I boosted my car and it would hesitate and not runn so hot, still strong as hell but wouldnt feel to strong top end.So I thought well what would happen if I actually welded it, and so this past week I did it with a tig welder.Man it is so much stronger than ever before and what a difference it makes on this boosted car.It honestly feels like 30 to 40 horse difference.It is a serious kick in the pants.Now when i start boosting in second gear it starts spinning before it only did that in first, it would spin when going into second, but now it does it even if i am already in second and boost it up.The welding seemed to havew held up great so far and i think it is a permanent fix.So if you have the means weld it, it will last longer.

i was on the dyno about a week ago with my repaired vias. the parts SR20DEN fixed it with worked great but i could not figure out the clock/position of the valve. first dyno was flat after 5k and i only had an hour so i just pulled the power valve out again. difference was over a 30whp gain and i am n/a and auto. did you happen to record the position of the power valve or did you just tig the cup with the power valve in and put it back together?

The welding would be a great option. When I came up with the JB weld fix, I knew it wasn't going to be permanent but fortuantely mine has held up for over a year now.

i took the end off the tig welder and ran the wire out a little far and held the cup in place with a pai of pliers.then tacked it, then i cut the spring a little to make way for the weld.Been over a month so far no probs yet.
