alright guys as most nknow i have a turbo eg coupe. Its my first turbo car so be gentle lol...
pretty sure its an XS power BOV.
and i never really hear it. if i do i have to be at high RPMs? is that how it is supposed to be?
Do i need to hook it to a certain vaccum line?
or is it just a shitty BOV and i need better..

just fucking with you lol

 

[LiveLife2ItsFullest]

its cool. i just want it to work right lol

 

[Guest]

word. I would try (after you tune) to push it higher....If you aren't entering boost then the BOV has no pressure to release.

 

[LiveLife2ItsFullest]

ok so it has to be in boost for the bov to work right? well mine only works like every other time for example

 

[spoolie]

make sure the vacuum line goes directly to a strong source.
screw the top half of the bov counter clockwise till it comes apart, take all the washers out and replace the spring back into the body.
screw the unit back together, and only turn 1-2 times.

adjust from there...if its too tight, you will have surge/flutter.
clockwise to tighten spring

you need one of these for a good vacuum signal.

this is the part that you turn...

how do i tell where a good vacum source is? ive tried a couple other vaccum lines but not as good

 

[spoolie]

take it off the pipe...make sure the o-ring in the bottom of the body is good...the top screws off like the pic i posted...do what i tell you first.

Maybe its different with that bov but Am I the
only one that has noticed it looks like the valve on that bov is stuck open....?

Or is it the way it's suppose to look.

I ask because my Greddy doesnt stay open like that....

EDIT: I noticed it's the same in the pic spoolie posted.
So I guess its suppose to be like that.

And yes, Spoolie has spoken, do as he says then come back

Different Valve types.

Hey, nick, I'll cut you a deal and sell you mine, yours is trashed.

No it looks like its been abused and they sanded on and flatted.
