sup guys just interested in your 2 cents on this topic. I've got a 2002 WRX and am looking towards buying a BOV. HKS has come out with a kit for my car with the SSQV that vents 100% to the atmosphere. Is it possible to vent that valve also back to my inlet tract? The WRX uses an AFM. I've read that many cars with Air Fuel Meters will run rich if it is all vented cause the EFI system will be confused and pump more gas into the engine. Is there an easy way to move the AFM? If not, and if you can't make an SSQV not run at 100% than why would they sell this product. I know the GFB BOV has either 100% venting or 50%, and i think turbosmart does as well. BUT I ENJOY THEM FUCKIN LOUD!

Any help on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

 

If you want sound and don't mind a car that bucks, startles, runs rich, and possibly stalls...vent to atmosphere

If you want smoothness, and no richness...vent back into the intake.

 

Venting 100% to atmosphere also means it's gonna blow off at the slightest blip of the gas too....it's annoying.....vent back to the intake.......do it 50/50.

 

Not really. There is a spring that you can adjust how much pressure it takes to open the valve. But even on the lightest setting you won't really hear the sound much unless you have a pretty heavy load on the engine when you let off...unless you have a turbo that spools at 500 rpm...

 

Wo hoooooo.

Greddy type-s

you can still hear that shiz when completely recirculated....

 

Vented BOVs are annoying... mine is REALLY bad now.

That is a Tial BOV. Looks like it's on a small pipe, right? Wrong. That is 2.5" pipe. My turbo spools slow as hell, but, my BOV still opens when I let off the throttle VERY often. Pretty much every time.

 

thanks guys
