TurboXS Hybrid BOV Installed!

[speed858]

First Impressions: Wow! This valve is amazing in every way. There are absolutely no drivability issues at all and no misfiring/backfiring. I can definately tell the difference in how it holds its boost. It seems like there is no more turbo lag and it starts to build immediately. When I felt the plastic bpv in my hand and then felt the turboxs I couldn't believe how crappy of a valve they put on our cars. Plus the best part is the sound of the pssst! I'm running my stock airbox because I didn't like the hiss of an intake and it sounds amazing. If anyone is looking for a great valve to run I would highly recommend this one! Plus it's pretty cheap, only $180.

where did you buy it from? video?

 

[speed858]

I got it from jscspeed.com. Just PM aaron@jsc and you will get the deal. When I get a chance I will post a video/sound clip.

I've had mine on for a while and absolutely second everything speed858 said. I, on the other hand, run the cobb sri with it because I love turbo noises

ya i put mine in also about a week ago... so much better than my hks except the sound of the hks (vta) was definetly better/louder... also bought mine from jscspeed

 

[speed858]

You're probably the one you got the last one before it went on back order! Jsc said some guy put his order like 4 mins before my paypal went through. This was May 19th.

 

[lestat13]

Yeah, I wish I could go VTA, but I know I would be one of the people to have issues with it!! Just stick with what works!

Did you guys reset the ECU after installing?

Did you guys reset the ECU after installing?

I forgot and did a few days later. Didn't see a change in the way the car ran either way

 

[Munnugles]

i didnt at all... i keep playing with the washers to see whats better... so that would be pointless... but since im gunna be sticking with 3 cuz for some reason that works better than the 'normal' 4 for me, ill be resetting the ecu

Hey there guys, I am gonna be installing the Turboxs hybrid valve when it comes in this week and was wondering how you reset the ECU? I am sorta new to this forum so I would appreciate the info. Thanks in advance

 

[lestat13]

^^ Unplug the negative battery terminal, let it sit for 10 minutes, some say 15, 30 whatever. Hook it back up. Done! Enjoy!

its also a good idea to pump the brakes before you re-connect the battery...helps to make sure any stored power is out of the system.

 

[speed858]

Oh, I didn't reset my ecu when I put mine in. I guess I should now. I never understood why resetting it's best for the car. Anyone know?

you wont notice that stuff for atleast few days to a week. my car was barely noticeable and would only get pops after WOT.

look at how much blacker your tail pipe gets.

I've posted it before, but here's a pic of my valve when I installed it. Come to think of, I've never taken any underhood pictures since I installed my Cobb SRI.... might wanna hop on that!

And yeah, the vac line seemed really thin to me, so I upgraded. Never trimmed it though......

Was this pretty much plug-and-play?

 

[lestat13]

Just remove the old one, attach the hoses, and remove the little upsidedown L shapped bracket on the front of the factory airbox. While you're at it, remove the snorkel too instead of psst, now gets whooo-psst!

 

[ITLOWNU]

Hey lestat13 I have a turboxs installed and what do you mean by the "snorkel"?
