Leonardo Posted September 2, 2005 Author Share Posted September 2, 2005 legacy2005- Got it through RalliTek on special now for 225.! http://www.rallitek.com/products.asp?ID=59&PP=&HB=&ACC=&SP=Y sub671- It's 50/50 right now, no driveability issues, only issue I can tell is that it holds boost better. OEM one tends to leak a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legacy2005 Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 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.

firedawgs Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 only issue I can tell is that it holds boost better. OEM one tends to leak a bit. Do you have a boost gauge? if it is holding boost better than that is a good thing. Updated my vBGarage: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GranTourer Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GranTourer Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legacy2005 Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 getting bored waiting for cruicial to come out with more dp's and the midpipe (gotta keep adding parts to the lgt,dam mod bug), was wondering how the gfb bov would work for a 5eat since the tranny/comp do all the shifting.

GranTourer Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
