Looking into running a after market bov. what are some defects to running one, and what one would you reccommed.

 

i recommend running a ***** into every orifice

 

Elaborate on your car please, anything aftermarket done to it? Honestly if you're not running an upgraded turbo etc. you probably don't need one and running one stock would almost be a bad thing.

 

I hope he's not fully stock... if you are, better put on your flame suit

 

Funniest guy in the club

 

Ya gotta get the one where you can control the volume of the dump....come on, FAST AND FURIOUS!!!!

LOL, just kidding.


If you're stock, don't even think about it. An aftermarket BOV would do more harm than...well it doesn't do any good on a stock car.

Are you looking at VTA or Recirc?

Recirculating is the way to go!

 

Do you want to blow everyone off?

 

Lol. Uh oh.

 

I was new one too. It's ok. I so wanted to bust out the flame thrower but it's outta gas.

 

back in my day they didn't have a search function

 

smh. I'm stock. waiting for my tune!

 

If you're stock, just hold off on getting a BOV. If you're really wanting to get one, get one that you can switch between recirc and VTA. If you do end up getting one before you tune, put it to recirc and tune it. MUCH better than VTA

 

It will do nothing for performance of you want the cool wooshie get an intake, and a tune

 

If anything it will slightly hurt performance because you're not recirculating that air. Slower spool and possible bogging.

There is nothing inherently, mechanically wrong with a properly working BoV (personal tastes on the obnoxious noise is another story...). You'll just foul your plugs sooner. The problem is that a huge portion of them are not properly working, mostly due to user error. Many people have leaky valves and are none-the-wiser about it.

 

Yup, that's basically it.

In other words its silly and pointless.
