i had one on my sol b4 my turbo seal went bad... they dont sound as loud and the noise is drawn out alot longer... i cant say its my favorite but it doesnt sound bad

TiAL 50mm is a sick BoV. Sounds so nice, no squeek or anything.

 

KaPSHHHH

Do you have any bogging/stalling issues with your BOV? I've heard they kill Subies. I'd like to know for real though, because I'm considering getting one since I got VF39'd.

Posted

people will run you around a tree going over the whole BOV subject on subies. If you have a BOV i would get it tuned just to be on the safe side, but people will still crucify you for it. Thats a question to ask rick though...

Posted
i like it, its nothing special though. Im looking at full coilovers for it,

dp eett!! tein full coilobers sonn!!! FTMFW!

Posted

haha yeah i was pretty tipsy then... but its TROOF, full adjustable tein coilovers FTMFW!

Posted
every gonna up the boost? maybe in the high 20's ? lol

 

not until he builds the tranny up, lol

Posted

hah thanks for the quick response rick. yeah i have the stock 02 5 speed, which was crafted of glass and bits of tin. after a new tranny i want to run around 25-28 psi.

 

I'm pretty sure its got something to do with the placement of the MAF sensor, and the BPV being after that on the intake. dunno, but quote me if im wrong rick.

you pretty much hit the nail on the head.

i had to replace my MAF sensor because of the bov i had. the busted MAF sensor had my ecu retarding my timing almost to the point where i would blow my motor if i went over 4k rpms. bovs on subies, not worth it imo.

hmmm, ive been running a hks ssqv for about a month and a half, as of yesterday if i go over 5 psi it misfires and bogs and is just pissed, but runs fine otherwise, you think its the MAF or plugs? ive gone through everything and rechecked, but still no fix yet.
