Venting The Stock Bov

[senna_T]

You can if you want to, it may put extra stress on your turbo though.

hey RUSTY I got the same setup you did. took no longer than a few mins to do it and it sounds alright for now, all I wanted was a little noise and pretty much got it with this. and for $15 of supplies its hell of a lot cheaper than a $200+ unit.

did a quick (dodgey) vid on youtube just to show what its like

hey guys just fitted filter to my bov not to bad for a cheap mod

sounds ok

[jasol]

why are ppl fitting a small filter to the bov? most turbosmart,gfb etc valves dont have filters

[JBJARROD]

People are putting the filters on because stuff such as dirt may get into your manifold and wreck your turbo/motor slowly etc.

I did this mod this afternoon. I bought a 50 cent garden srinkler stopper thingy from Bunnings (it looks like a chair stopper thingy but is plastic, its about 15mm wide I think roughly), has the lip on it to so a hose fits on it well.

I dont mind the sound. Im running 15psi and at low boost it makes a pssssshhhhh sound that seems to go on for a while but when you hit full boost and back off it makes a pshtutututu sound similar to standard but bit noisier and more pschhh haha if you get me.

I recommend the mod to anyone. Only cost me 50 cents to do it as well, but just using the standard hose clamps, although prob wouldnt hurt changing all the hose clamps as the standard ones are fairly basic and average but seem to do the job.

hey guys

just done this mod this arvo pretty happy with the result for a cheap mod, pretty tight up round the bov on a ba but fits nice

[honer]

Did this mod today, sounds great. Well worth the $15 odd it cost to do

IMO if your after a loud dose or 'tut tut tut' you shoulda gone for one of RAPIDS kits with no BOV, sounds unreal I have no doubt about the quality n performance n best best price around, theres a clip on his website of his car dosing.

Whats his web address man im mechanically retarded an dont really want to be sticking door stoppers in my car haha.

I did this today, and with a lil filter on the end venting to atmosphere I get the pshhhhhh noise, but then I took the filter off and drilled a hole in another chair stopper, and took it for a run, it made the tut tut tut noise as if its slowing down the turbo, why is this???

Sounds much better then the Turbosmart dual port kompact series.

Is a very tight fight but sounds nice.

my bov is vented with filter. I noticed when I back off under throttle light or heavy I obviously get the ppsssccchh sound but it also happens under very light/light consistant throttle say going up a long hill it will ppssssscccchhh the whole way. As soon as I give the peddle abit more of a dab it stops. Its running 14psi but I dont think that should really have much of an effect at low revs light throttle. My qustion is my bov stuffed or is this normal
