So who's got a BOV on their Liberty GT??? and what kind too??

A few of the members have them installed. Typically it's usually a HKS SSQV or GFB GT Hybrid, but there are others.

I've got a GFB GT Hybrid. Contemplating selling it...

Do they bolt on??? i wanna get the turbosmart supersonic HAHAH .. but it looks too big to bolt into the engine bay

Hybrid GT bolts straight on, and no need to cut the engine cover

it's designed for the Liberty.

apart from the noise are there any *real* gains to be had?

I liked the sound of Jims GT STi with the BOV and zorst, so Im thinking of getting one. (.....maybe yours Tangcla

?)

Unless you are running really high boost, it is purely for sound.

in my rexxy i had to upgrade the bov when i changed the turbo and was running 1.3-1.4 bar, as the stocky was opening under boost. a few guys generally go for a adjustable aftermarket plumb back from a tuning perspective.. but even though they're plumb back, they are also a bit louder the stock one.

The full atmo ones will give you major AFR headaches and idle problems. The hybrids seem to be ok.. i think you can adjust them to 50/50 and such.

I have a HKS SSQ full atmo, and have do dramas with idle or anything like that.

A/F only runs rich for a split-second when you back off on the throttle - doesn't cause any problems.

I think for us Mick, cos we're auto, it won't have any effect because the ECU and auto box will compensate

we don't really drop into idle...

It's loud in full atmo, it is a relatively simple splash/whoosh noise, I guess.

No, but that's why I said your mods are disappearing, silly! Not your car. :tongue:

Mods are usually a replacement of a factory part with something better or something more suitable. So it's safe to assume if you sold off your mod, you would be returning to the factory part, not bricks or twiggies. :biggrin:
