What kind of BOV are you running?

[rjs_speed3]

how does is sound as opposed to stock???
does it giggle?
does it sneeze?
does it woosh?

 

[silverspeed03]

Do you have an intake?

I just put the HKS SSQ BOV on my list. But I decided not to do the recirc. Bad thing to do or?

do full recirc until you get a tuning application (ie: cobb ap, cpe standback, etc...)

It's a good idea to recirc. because we have a MAF. VTA will cause hesitation issues

i have a Mazdaspeed CAI, what is the best BOV to run????

close....lol

running VTA or any there part of (ie: hybrid bov's...) will cause your to run rich inbetween shifts. in some cases, there is a slight hesitation, in other no.

the one you pick is the best one to go with ...

if you are planning only basic mods, the stock bpv will do just fine

Hey Cashmere, how bad is the hesitation between shifts with the SU Bov in dual port mode? You only get some VTA with high boost right?

 

[CaSHMeRe]

there is no hesitation between shifts. you get a slightly noticeable backfire every once in a while, while the ecu is closed loop. After that, runs perfectly fine.

You get VTA (50% recir/50% VTA) throughout the powerband when setup in hybrid mode. You can also set up for 100% recirc or 100% VTA.

i currently run 100% recirc

with hks vta you can notice the difference between shifts...it sometimes gets annoying...recirc runs so much smoother and no backfires even tho it sounds badass when this thing backfires ...its not good tho

 

[knowledge007]

I backfire sometimes but thats due to the 3"s... But that will stop once I install tuning solution.

 

[clos561]

ur gona have to splice wires right? take some pics of it installed i wanna see how noticable it is..i can prolyl get away with it at my dealer.

I just install my Forge BPV today with the yellow spring. So far, so good. Anyone else that has this BPV, is there any benefit to switching to the blue spring?

 

[rjs_speed3]

-What the heck are my choices for BOV's?????????????

-Are they safe to just "bolt on" w/o any extra mods????

-Out of all the choices for our cars, which one is the most aggressive sounding???

 

[rjs_speed3]

help??

 

[knowledge007]

Yes, this item is just replacing your BPV valve. THere is nothing to worry about. All you have to do is make up your mind on which you would like to purchase.

i prefer the blue spring. the extra tension forces the valve shut a little sooner allowing you to spool up faster after a gear change.

And the Forge BPV sounds super-metallic. I love it. Never enough turbo noise.

If you want a nice loud BOV then get the Turbosmart BOV and run it in hybrid mode. You will get the sound you want and no CEL. Remember to reset your ECU when you install whichever BOV you get. The Turbosmart BOV is a direct bolt on. Just remove the old one and install the new one. It is adjusted by turning the top of the BOV, no extra springs or washers or any of that stuff. I have it and I couldn't be happier.
