Unhappy Question about accessport????

I recently ordered accessport and I am going to run stage 1 93 octane, so I was wondering if stock BOV is fit to handle the extra boost that accessport gives??

No problem. You'll only lose power if you go to an aftermarket BOV with Stage 1.

Also if you do get the point where you do need to get a blowoff make sure to get one that is not 100% atmosphere otherwise yhou might have some problems with the access port.

None of Cobbs maps require a bov. Here is some info from Cobbs Q&A page.

Q. I have an up-pipe, and/or intercooler hoses, and/or a panel filter, and/or a BOV, and/or pulleys, etc. but I don’t see a map with those mods. What can I do?

A. Those types of modifications are within the AccessECU’s ability to adapt. Most of them (with the exception of the BOV) make a slight improvement in efficiency, but do not change the characteristics of the car enough to require reprogramming to work properly. If you add these types of parts later it might take the car a driving cycle or two to get the boost right on, but it will likely adapt unless the part makes a significant change such as a turbo-back. As stated above, if you have a question about your parts, let us know and we will help you choose the map that is right for you. That is much better than getting a wrong map, or thinking we do not have a map for your combo.
