Bov
 

is puting on a BOV really that bad for your car? i heard it is actually pretty bad since there is no air coming out...all atmosphere...what if i just put in a BOV anything going to happend in the long run?

it's not that bad, some may cause rough idle and whatnot, but it's mainly for sound and releasing backpressure. No performance increase.

not bad
does'nt help performance with stock cars (need LOTS Of HP to really do something)

just that awesome WOOSH

i love my gfb bov

but i thought it made your car run rich, thus making it bad for the ecu and the engine...it is all atmospheric...i may be wrong..but please help me clarify...one qustion....if i put it on....will it harm my car since it now runs rich???

not really ;)

but yes, it makes your car run rich. Other than that it won't damage your engine or anything. You'll just waste more gas.

IT DOES DAMAGE YOUR CAR, well the spark plugs at least i have one that went bad, but still worth the sound

Good question aznb128 I was about to ask the same questions, but you did all the work for me lol.

Go fast bits makes 50/50 bov's. Still vents some into the resurc. hose to help the ecu. Also the stealth is good too so yuo can go from mild to wild a the turn of a button. GFB bov's are expensive but i have seen em work and i'm am going to get one. I have other stuff to spend money on right now(suspension,reflash,etc...). Stock bov will work for now. From what i hear it is good up to a pretty high hp and boost level.

any evidence that the bov caused it?

running rich makes the spark plugs wear out faster. leading to misfires. just change the plugs regularly

there triple platunim plugs there a little costly to just be changing out every now and again....

copper always provides the best performance. must be changed more often, but cheaper and better spark.

i'm not convinced the momentarily rich condition does a damned thing to the plugs.

if your car is white watch out for that yellow bumper, other than that i say ... BLOW your little heart out buddy :D
