It can be configured in 3 ways:

1) 100% recirculation

2) 50% to the engine and 50% to atmosphere

3) 100% atmosphere

 

how the engine looks ( at least mine ;) )

Stock BOV under engine cover:

Remove 4 clips that hold the engine cover and both #10 screws that hold the stock bov and clamp holding return hose

Install with new gaskets and tighten both #10 screws:

very nice leo. i'm pretty much sold on getting one now but had a few questions for you.

  • is it set on 50% or 100% atmospheric?
  • any driveability issues so far?
  • any noticeable improvements like quicker spool up and/or throttle response?

download the clips he has posted.

How does it sound, not that it really matters....

 

 

for the amount of money they are asking for a bov is insane. for something that doesnt add hp, only a little bit of sound, and its effects on the turbo system untested in long term use dont really inspire me to shell out that kinda cash. id rather take that 200-300 and get a DP or midpipe.

Work hard. Play even harder.

Got mine two days earlier than expected from Rallitek and installed it today. Other than the nightmare from the recirculation tube, I can't seem to tighten the trumpet back on!

 

Is it safe to run without the trumpet? I took it off to ease installation, but it just doesn't want to thread back on. Any help is appreciated.

Ok, finally got the trumpet on ...it seems to go on at a slight angle so I needed to press the top part in before threading it. *caugh*sun was in my eye*caugh*

 

It's a great piece, fits nicely, and sounds awesome the way it came preset for 50/50! The WRC trading cards are awesome too, thanks Rallitek! :D

So, did you guys adjust the allen screw? I left mine as is. Also, how do you reconfig the GFB for full return and full vent? It would've been nice if it came with instructions.

i hope you didnt install it yourself... seriously though, you can have stall issues if you over or under adjust the screw. its hard to do on an lgt because of the lack of an external throttle. you will need two people, one to rev and one to listen and adjust.

You really dont have to worry about it though, unless your runnin after market IC piping, and 350 hp or 18+lbs boost, the replacement BOV shown above is preset to bolt on without adjustment (i assume) I have spent many of hours adjusting my HKS on my old car, it sucks and can take hours at a time.
