Few Questions

[Scotty_Tas]

Hey guys

Bought a BA 03 xr6 turbo manual a few weeks ago and looking at buying a blow off valve for it just to make it stand out a bit more and let people know its a turbo ha dont really know anything about them but trying to learn

Want one that makes a nice sound

Whats the difference between plumback and atmospheric and does the xr6 need a particular one?

Is there any particular BOV u would recommend from turbosmart that will do what I want?

Thanks for your time

Scott.

It really comes down to personal preference on what sound you like.

Atmospheric BOV's vent to the atmosphere, this gives you the pppsssshhhh noise your hear on most rice burners and is also illegal in some states.

Plumb back is when its plumbed back into intake and this usually gives you flutter type noise depending on the intake

I've got a Turbosmart Kompact BOV on mine which replaces the original bosch one. It is dual port which is both plumb back and atmospheric but you can block off either.

Most BOV's can be adapted to the xr6's.

Well, what sort of noise you after really???

A VL dose sound alike, a flutter like (which I prefer).

If you ask me go for a simple operation mate, like get yourself a K&N filter. Pod style filter will get you more flutter, rectangle filter will whereas wont be any more differnt than the pod with sound but is better for performance over the pod style...

3-4psi more boosted, will get you there.

There are other options like under battery CAI off the turbo which most ppl go by also. Dunno mate, just some suggestions if you were to go in that path, depends how much attention you want from the blue bubbler's

You don't need to vent back on the XR6t's. It has a map sensor as opposed to an air flow meter so won't mess up the cars running. Basically it comes down to personal choice of whether you want noise or not. I have my factory unit venting to atmos.
