What kind of BOV are you running?

[MS3katyTX]

I just installed a Turbo-XS Hybrid BOV, does anyone else have this BOV and how many washers are you running with?

Turbosmart FTW!!!

hehe seems like on all these posts im the only one with the greddy type s. i love the s mainly cuz the stock hose fits right over the type s so you really don't need to by the recirc fitting cuz the hose goes right over the entire port where the air leaves and i still got the high pitch whistle as i would normally vta.

Yeah, I got the Forge because the install was so easy.

So are we agreeing that for the Forge BPV, the blue spring is the best one from a stock upgrade?

For me, no, I like the Yellow spring, it feels more responsive, I suggest you try both and see what suites you best.

I thought having a BOV was a no no on this car? Correct me if im wrong please.

A BOV is okay, as long as it works in Hybrid mode (50 VTA 50 RECIRC). One that Completely Vents is a no no, BOV's can be 100% RECIRC too.

you cant run vta untill you tune the car....recirc is best, 50/50 is ok

ordered forge bpv today. i have the turbosmart now, and just can't put up with the burps from the exhaust. might be in the market place later in the week.

did you try tightening the spring?

 

[Adammazda06]

i have tried everything. even called SU on what to do. they gave me instructions and all, but it still burps on any shift under about 4k-45k rpm. so i am just doing away with it.

 

[tru-boost]

50/50 will work....and if you like messing up your A/F between shifts, sure...i guess its OK. you think its no big deal, but i saw a 3/10's slower ET when i used to run my greddy valve VTA. it will make you slower, it will not be noticeable , but rich conditions even brief ones, will slow you down.
VTA is a NO NO and hybrid is not much better.... sorry, not trying to bash.
research how the MAF works and you will see why its bad.
especially if you already have a CAI ....why in the world would you buy a hybrid?? a normal recirc valve sounds great witha cai !

 

[aaronc7]

Yeah, I know theres no performance benefit or anything nad it should be run in full recirc. At least the valve can be converted to full recirc in a few minutes. I think I may try it out soon and see what it sounds like since I know it's better for it that way. I just like the way it sounds . I wonder if it will sound much different than the stock valve. I've had a few burps in the exahust but sually only if i shift at 2.5-3k light driving, no problems really

 

[aaronc7]

edit...doh im retarded

 

[aaronc7]

hey guys. I converted my hybrid BOV to full recirc today and it definitely does run better/smoother. As fun as the blow off sound is, i think i am gonna stick to full recirc until some sort of tuning solution allows us to properly run VTA.

 

[CX-7owner]

Yep, just waiting for that PnP ems!(ugh)

 

[firedawgs]

Where is the best price for the forge on the web??

 

[Sierra117]

I'm pretty set on getting the Forge, and it looks like the blue spring is the way to go but...

Anyone try out something from TiAl yet?
