JCresswell Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 Ive just fitted my new HKS BOV replacing the stock one!, The car is running better, feels like more power????? This cant be cant it?, a freind who is into his cars said it might be the fact that the old hoses and stock bov where losing boost from a leak due to age?? the old pipes split v easy when it came off , the old hose was very britil!!!!!! anyway i dont care it feels better, if anyone has had similiar results would be nice to hear from you, or if someone can confirm this ????, cool:baa: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outatime Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 Like you say, the stock BOV was probably leaking - its not unheard of. I assume you dont have a boost gauge? You might want to get one to keep an eye on this sort of thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 You may have had a broken stock BOV, blow through it, if air flows freely it's buggered My MKIII BOV had blown and I noticed the difference when fitting the SAAB BOV, mainly when you changed gear and the Turbo didn't stall due to back pressure.
