broke Donating Members 229 Member For: 13y 1m 16d Gender: Male Posted 14/04/12 05:15 AM Share Posted 14/04/12 05:15 AM so grabbed the parts today, and by mistake ive bought a 20mm breather.. doh! I'll get another. is there any damaged to be done if I blocked up the BOV as well? so ive taken out the piece of hose and put the rubber foot on and secured. the bov is still attached but where the breather would go, can I block it up also?

broke Donating Members 229 Member For: 13y 1m 16d Gender: Male Posted 14/04/12 05:46 AM Share Posted 14/04/12 05:46 AM ok well managed to get that 20mm breather on the bov. what I did was cut off the lip that the hose clamp grabs and make a few small incisions that would allow the soft plastic to kind of mould around the mouth of the bov. works.. is on there nice and solid. took the car for a spin and gave it a boot full on just about every street I turned. makes a "whoosh" type noise even on moderate throttle. not super loud like some rex's you see farting down the road then let out an almighty whoosh noise. it's quite subtle, not sure if I love it yet but I'll leave it like it is for a week or so and see how it goes. in stock form the bov didnt make a sound no matter what kind of throttle I gave it, some people have said they get tututu's with stock set up but I dont get any of that even with the vented set up. overall cost me $27 and yeah about 5-10mins time so cant complain.

broke Donating Members 229 Member For: 13y 1m 16d Gender: Male Posted 14/06/12 11:11 AM Share Posted 14/06/12 11:11 AM did this yesterday on my fg, vented is surprisingly loud but I have to rev it pretty hard to get it to flutter when completely blocked off...same, blocked mine off this arvo before I went to pick up the mrs from work to have a good at some comp surge and not noticeable at all really unless you give it a bit. vented it again just then, literally less than a minute to do. I actually prefer and am used to hearing the bov breathe now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 1m 11d Posted 18/07/12 11:11 PM Share Posted 18/07/12 11:11 PM Did this to my FG a couple of days ago and definately increased the sound from stock which is great! Thanks for this thread, saved me heaps of $$!The only thing, have other ppl woth FG's noticed that it'll go off even in low rev ranges? I don't have a boost gauge but I figure because of the smaller turbo the FG hits boost a bit earlier than the B series, just wondering how early the car starts coming on boost?Just wanna make sure other people have experienced the same thing and I haven't done something wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
