I have Plazmaman Piping now with 25mm BOV pipe and 25mm return. I have fitted the stock BOV up to the pipework, it all looks and works fine. I'm running 12psi.Question is why do people upgrade thier BOV if they are intending on just plumbing it back? The stock one seems fine for that job. Would I see any benefit in putting on a 25mm Plazmaman BOV plumbed back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-SPEC You are a dead set goose Silver Donating Members 3,968 Member For: 19y 2m 8d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 01/06/09 05:18 AM Share Posted 01/06/09 05:18 AM (edited) The only reason I can think of is to vent more air back into the intake to reduce the flutter with the adjustable spring tension. Plus the Bosch unit is pretty cheap and has leaked before, so I guess a solid well built and adjustable unit like the Plazmaman one provides a better alternative Edited 01/06/09 05:18 AM by R-SPEC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
