Nic Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Sorry to hijack your thread, but do anybody know if it is possible to run stock BOV and and HKS ssqv(vent in the air) on a UK/US with MAF. Without having stalling og running rich problems? Not recommended to run a vent to atmosphere BOV on a MAF based car, as it will mess up the fueling. HKS do an adapter for the SSQV so you can recirculate back into the intake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But anyway rather have it recirculated than harming my engine:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markybhoy86 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 i will cap it off then fuck it lol. next question, since the HKS BOV is now across the other side of the engine do i still run the hose with the small filter on it to the same place or is there a place closer. a picture of someones set up would be really handy tbh lol im not good at writing out technical stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 The below picture is a shot of the rear of the intake manifold. You can see a pipe with brown tape on it. This pipe attaches to a metal pipe that runs behind the engine, connects to the one of the small pipes that sit on top of the turbo and connect to the stock BOV. So in short, if you can get to this hose, I would remove it and connect a new hose to it and connect it to your new BOV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 So it work work perfectly with no adverse effects if I were to remove the stock dump valve and block all the pipes there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoMagic Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 So it work work perfectly with no adverse effects if I were to remove the stock dump valve and block all the pipes there? Nope nothing, other than the best sound ever and that is Turbo Chatter! All this stalling the turbo is damaging stuff is just a myth IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L33 Posted June 13, 2008 Author Share Posted June 13, 2008 well the intercooler was fitted today and the dump valve wil be here next week, seemsto be running ok and sounds fine, with a tiny bit of flutter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoMagic Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 flutter / chatter is the best sound! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L33 Posted June 13, 2008 Author Share Posted June 13, 2008 i know its hot but not great for engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoMagic Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 i know its hot but not great for engine It doesn't affect the engine mate, only allegedly the turbos as the boost goes back through the compressor causing it to stall which makes the flutter sound. I've yet to see an actual turbo damaged from this though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L33 Posted June 14, 2008 Author Share Posted June 14, 2008 if u replace the standard bov, with a hks ssvq do u stil get a bit of flutter at low boost cuz i dont really want to loose that sound! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 One issue of running without a BOV... blowing the pipes off, when I had softpipes on original on the test setup I was constantly popping them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
