Roley94 Member 114 Member For: 11y 8m 22d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 10/09/13 08:02 AM Share Posted 10/09/13 08:02 AM So I just had my car tuned a few weeks ago and today I decided to put the trumpet on my dual port bov just for fun and realized at idle the valve was open about 5mm, if I tighten it up so its closed at idle will it effect my air fuel ratios?

During this time it has worked like a dream, however over the past couple of weeks I have noticed it mainly doesn't open at all and when it does it's only when the cars at full running temp and smashing high boost. I have shortened the vac line as much as possible to avoid kinks, just wondering if there is any sort of maintenance required for this BOV's? Any help would be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ropata94 Member 20 Member For: 11y 1m 9d Gender: Male Posted 02/12/13 10:57 PM Share Posted 02/12/13 10:57 PM Well if that's the case I got a plumb back on one side and theyll never know what setting its on really unless they pull my BOV out coz u cant really see it and cops arent that smart... Hi dave I just ordered the Turbosmart kompact dual port 25mm aswell, and am putting it In today Can you give me any heads up? I'm not really hands on with this kind of stuff, and also my cars runnig the standard 6psi stock boost, will I notice a noise change? Thanks heaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just realised after reading this post I have installed my turbosmart BOV backwards..... Car was making crazy turbo flutter and has for last 3 months. Is there anyway to tell if I've done damage???? Funny thing is it was initially making the loud swoosh but stopped after installing plazmaman CAI?............ Any info would be awesome cheers guys.

paps fg F6 New Member 3 Member For: 11y 7m 26d Gender: Male Posted 29/03/15 12:23 PM Share Posted 29/03/15 12:23 PM Just purchased a kompact dual port series bov to suit my fg f6. Motor is stock and running .9bar boost. My bov came with a pink spring. I found it was opening way to early causing boost to vent out. I have fitted all 6 supplied washers to spring, tightened all the way and retested, is better but still not holding boost to .9 bar. Also prefer the tututu sound over psssshhhht. Do I need a stiffer spring? Or can I put more washers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 29,004 Member For: 16y 7m 21d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 30/12/22 05:04 AM Share Posted 30/12/22 05:04 AM a BOV isn't necessary at all, if you don't want one... but if you want to have proper BOV operation at extra boost pressure then a higher quality one is ideal... if you're not changing the boost level, no need to change the BOV you're currently using if it works fine.
