    Bov Question

    Actually, yes...I hear the "ppsssstt" alot clearer...and my buds thought I installed a different valve, saying the HKS sounded like bad flutter...not dogging the HKS BOV, with the Mass Air set up on these cars, its just not needed...stick with stock...like the saying goes, "If it ain't broke...

    Bov Question

    Save your money...unless your planning on upgrading your turbo and as far as I'm concerned, Mazda did their homework on this car, does not need one anytime soon...I took mine off the BOV after about a month...

    Turbo "flutter" with CAI & BOV...

    thanks for the reply...I'm guessing its the new one...not much to adjust other than taking of the cover and switching it from VTA to recirc...as long as its normal, i can live with it...the car runs fine, alot better than it did in VTA mode...

    I did realize that the first time...I noticed it as I installed the snap ring and i did use a small punch to get it to seat...all while pressing BOV down against the adapter, hoping to get it to seat...I'm sure if i wanted to spend most of the day working on this maybe i would of got lucky and...

    BOV use on Speed6, safe???

    Well, ran into a small snag the other day...seems the O-ring they give you with the HKS BOV kit is a tad on the thick side....as I found out, when you use the snap-ring to hold the BOV in place, it does not seat all the way, causing the whole unit to seperate...luckly, I was in town and was able...

EVO, since this guy at my work just purchased a new EVO and knew of my Speed6...Right off the bat, he's pulling rank, telling me that my car has no business being compared to the two rally cars...and of course, he wants to...

    BOV use on Speed6, safe???

    First off, just want to say you guys got a good thing going here, as for the info I have found on this car is in great abundance...I purchased my car about month ago and already have been bitten by the Mod Bug...My last car was a GTP, so I'm somewhat familiar with forced induction...Added...
