Sound difference is very noticeable (pschhh), car runs no differently. Also bought the rip off kompact bov, will try that when it arrives! Thanks for the info guys!

It's louder, cheaper and gives a better sound. Might tinker around and see if I can get some different noises.

Use to think that too mate, have done both on mine but I swear it runs way better with a full blocked bov (and is louder) then with the hole drilled in it. Have no idea why but that's just my experience. Someone explained it in this thread I think.Not really any positive in performance for an auto but atmo bovs are designed to keep boost up during gear changes on a manual cars so if there was to be any benefit it would be in that scenario.Can you post a pic of this set up buddy Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/43919-venting-the-stock-bov/page/24/#findComment-1307455 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think haha. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/43919-venting-the-stock-bov/page/24/#findComment-1324429 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 7m 29d Posted 13/11/12 02:22 AM Share Posted 13/11/12 02:22 AM Its definitely got a 25mm inside diameter cause that's what's on my car. I do have an FG though so there could be a difference in size. Either way you could do what Paddie did anyway. Either way that's the right filter your after.Should be $15 for filter, $5 for a couple of 20-30mm clamps and a 25mm chair rubber for like $1. Do it properly and you'll get a pssshhh sound Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/43919-venting-the-stock-bov/page/24/#findComment-1324449 Share on other sites More sharing options...
