does a stock 05wrx engine come with an blow off valve?

where is it located too? just trying to get some questions out of the way.

 

the 05 wrx comes with a bypass valve. No BOV. If you look on the bottom of your intercooler on the right, that circle shiny part connected to by two bolts is your bypass valve

 

hopefully you dont buy a BOV, cause you dont need it and it will cause more harm to your ride.. So the sound is not worth it!

 

thanks for the info. i just bought an 05 wrx my buddy kept saying my bypass balve was my bov..as it turns out i do have a bov.

 

what kind of bov?

 

not sure. it sounds nice not loud or anything. the guy that i bought the wrx did some upgrades to it but didnt know nothing about them..kinda weird. it only had 13k miles on it. he said he put money into it but didnt wanna drive it or anything just kept it in his garage (older guy)

 

take a pic of the engine compartment and post it up.

I am sure we can ID quickly.

 

you can remove the snorkus and get a slightly louder pressure release sound
the stock BPV is fine for anything not involving an FMIC
I know a few guys are running 320+whp on a big TMIC and stock BPV works fine
save your money and spend it on a tune

 

ill have them up tomorrow

 

 

its your stock bypass valve

 

cool. one more question why does it still make a "psshhhh" sound to it. i thought only bov did that?

 

The sound is coming through your intake

 

you can kind of hear it with stockers... its not as noticeable compaired to a bov... but once you put exhaust on you prolly wont hear it

and because you dont have your stock intake or the air silencer, you can hear your turbo spool up a lot more

 

nice..that explains a lot. thanks for the info.
