Bov Help

[SMOKEYS36SHOP]

ok i have a turboxs hybrid bov and after just installing my tmic and turbo inlet the thing sounds bad ass..it took that nice clean crisp sound and gave it a deeper tone...it sounds amazing...but now im having a problem and maybe you guys can help. right now in first and second gear i am holding boost at 14-15 pounds of boost and third and forth i spike at 17-17.5 and drop off and hold at 15-16...does this sound right or is this what i get for buying a 50/50 bov?

well for sound issues you can always search out bov sounds on youtube...so far there were 3 bov's that stood out with sound in my opinion...turboxs sounds like most bovs out there and in my opinion sounds just like the turbosmart one...then there is forge bpv that sounds like the mario coin...and then there is the hks which has a completely different sound of its own in my opinion very high pitched sound which i like a lot!!

keep in mind that the best bov/bpv for your car is a bpv or the hybrid bov which does both...goodluck!!

The best BPV for your car is a 100% recirc BPV. Any VTA at all will mess with the ECU unless you get it tuned out via Standback or XEDE.

well tuner steve your right but i have never had ecu issues with my hybrid bov....i have had it for about 8 months now...but i agree that a bpv is the "best" for our cars

You may not have issues, but your car isn't running to its full potential. It expects all air that has entered the intake to be accounted for, and if you are venting some of it, you are altering that in some way. It may not be noticeable, but your ECU wasn't entirely happy.

yea i know...but i love the sound of it lol...im never gonna get rid of it...but your very right when saying im prob not getting the full amount of power..i bet im out about a pound of boost from it even tho im holding 15-16 pounds in every gear ..but i plan on getting a cobb ap later on and im sure it will help fix any issues

Currently, the AP doesn't tune for a VTA setup. I believe only the Standback and the XEDE can, but you have to have it set up for you.

yea thats why im either gunna go with the forge or the bpv that su is coming out with
