Vortech bypass valve can be replaced?
#3
I tried it and couldnt get it to work . Even taking out one of the springs . Maybe I took out the wrong one...dont know . Others said they have been able to make it work . Might want to do a search on it

If you can get it to open at minimal vacuum it should work. This would require you to take the spring out though and get a different one from Mcmaster with a lower cracking pressure (vacuum actually).
