Bailey Diverter Valves Installed
Got the Bailey diverter valves installed today. It's a tight squeeze to get those in there.
I only took it around the block and didn't notice a difference. Hopefully some more seat time will show some improvement.
I guess it was more preventative maintenance than anything.

What are the differances or benefits between diverter valves and BOV? Is it a spool issue? Is it something to do once the OEM valves go bad or is there also a performance benefit?

My DVs were defective (i.e. "honking") and my dealer bought Baileys and installed them...all done under warranty. I told the dealer I wasn't in the mood to have my DVs replaced every 200-5000 miles (when they failed) and by installing Baileys they wouldn't see me again with bad DVs. They agreed with me and did the warranty work.
If your DVs aren't "broken", I wouldn't expect the dealer to do anything about them under warranty.

So, does this explain why Fred can sometimes get flames to come out of his tailpipes on shifts? He is running BOV's now.

Now, if you "vent" the air to the atmosphere when you the throttle body closes (when you let off the gas and shift), the system still thinks that it has the air that it metered to begin with. Thus, it adds more fuel. The problem is, some air has escaped (vented to the atmosphere) and you will run rich between shifts because you added more fuel than was needed. It (the ECU) has no idea that you vented the compressed air into the atmosphere - it still thinks that it is still there because the MAS does not know otherwise (it already metered the air).
