Your like a pioneer to us! lol Have you got it set up plumbback or straight to the air?If you've got it to the air are you putting a filter on it?and did you install it yourself??A GFB in melb i wonder??? i'll go back and check out the link.write back soon - Cheers!Ben Ben,Just email them at sales@gofastbits.com.au they will point you to their preferred distributor.As for installing it the guys at GFB installed it for me, as we were looking at the design process of where it would go and the ease of removing it if need be. Its set to air at the moment, and only set to around 4 out of 10. As for a filter, ill have to ask the guys at GFB and get back to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got this response from GFB this morning..Hi Chris,I assume he was concerned about unfiltered air entering the engine? If so, aBOV is like a one-way device, there is no possible condition in which airwould actually go IN through the valve. Besides which, if you put a filteron it (some rally guys will to prevent dirt from getting into the movingparts) it kills the noise off completely, in which case you might as wellstick with the plumb back! Rest assured, if it needed a filter, we would fitone.Cheers,Brett TurnerEngineer/Technical SalesGo Fast Bits+612 9569 7648www.gofastbits.com.au Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is also to do with the fact that the aluminium casting (withTurbo written on it) has tiny holes in the inlet and outlets for the valve,which greatly restrict airflow. The benefits (apart from the noise factor)will come if the power is lifted though.And as for noise its a wooooooooosh, pssttt noise.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
