Which BOV?

[stew07gt]

oh ok thanks, though it was but wasnt sure.

I actually broke the clips on my engine cover and havent bothered to put it back on yet, which i prefer, but i read on here that it helps feed the air into the top mount better? is that the case?

Is there much of a performance gain getting an aftermarket bov?

Hey Stewart,
To the Bov question above I dont think there is much to gain from having one. Maybe 1kw if its better with holding boost to a more exact amount.
Otherwise nope.

It can be useful if you have boost leak, and then a new one is essential. Im sure there are ways to check this, but i guess if you can hear your stock one go off with the resonator delete then it is working fine.

Its more for sound under 200kw atw i think..
If we were pushing some big mods the stock would effect performance.

This is just going off what ive read and what my mates have told me, hope this helps

Im starting to lean towards the forge and apexi set up

Agreed i have my turbosmart Kompact BOV set to full recirc and because if the intake i am running you get the big typical BOV whoosh. However i'd imagine with a stock airbox it would be hardly discernible.
