Epic Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Anyone got one fitted... been told it causes problems etc but would really love a BOV, any advice would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben-san Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Hardly any point if you want it for sound, Epic. Your UK Spec has a Mass Air Flow sensor, unlike the JDM variant. MAF measurement requires the surplus gasses released by the stock valve which recirculate back into the system in order to calculate fueling. So essentially, you'll have a pricey BOV which will have to blow back into the system, not to air. If you want to test this theory, vent the stock one to atmosphere and try to rev the car lightly. It will most probably choke and struggle to idle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epic Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 how do i go about venting the stock one.. i dont think it would be worth the hassle if im going to fuck things up. and how comes its alright to have on a manual but not an auto? i love the recirc sound you get from changing the air filter but iv put the standard box back on as i dont want to cause any damage to anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben-san Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Interesting. I was always told that it has problems dealing with venting to atmosphere... and a good friend's UK TT Auto didn't like it too. I stand corrected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
