installing a blow out valve

i jus bought a 06 spec b, and it came with a BOV but its not installed, i have no idea where it goes or how to install. Any help would be appreciated.

The stock blow off valve is to the right of the intercooler, if that helps. you'll problaby need an adaptor to fit the aftermarket one though. Not sure

That should help somewhat. Different car but the concept and location I believe are the same. This should give you a rough idea though.

ok so replace the stock blowoff valve with a shiny blow off valve ? that works exactly the same .. ?

blow out valve...LOL

Sell the BOV and buy something useful for your car...

Quoted for truth.

the moral is the subarus have mass airflow fuel calculations, instead of speed density. the mass airflow meter is before the turbo. if there is a blow off valve installed on this system other than a recirculation valve witch it has the air being dumped off will be under stood to the computer as air that is going into the engine so it will provide the fuel associated with that air. typically what happens is once the bov is set so that the car can run it will have a shot of black smoke at every shift.

 

what i did was when i installed a front mount intercooler i placed the mass airflow sensor just before the throttle plate and the bov just after the turbo. this allows the mass airflow sensor to acutately read the air actually going into the engine.

the down side of this is the maf can get dirty with oil and some dust. then loose acuracy.

I sold my 1.8T Jetta to a friend a few years ago. I had to all hooked up...APR chip, AEM intake, H&R springs...ect...well, since it was in S. Florida, a friend of his told him the CAI was a bad idea since it rains and floods alot there. I had the CAI on there for 2 years, and his "friend" removed the CAI pipe and just plugged the filter on the end of the MAF. He didn't plug the recirc tube and end result...No boost, and I am quite sure the turbo is dead. Poor car...he has no idea what he's doing, or what he has...EDUCATE yourself before you do anything to the car. Don't put 87 octane in your car either...

what blow off valve is it? I run a gfb (hybrid bov) so i can recir 50% of the air being Blown off (lol) and i had it on my stock top mount, perrin top mount, and now my racerx front mount. with the top mounts i was and a turbo back i had no smoke in between shifts but in some cases you get a loud backfire. with my front mount i have no issues at all. just the occasional flame out the exhaust under hard shifts. the blow off valve will take even a unskilled mechanic 10 mins MAX.

its a hybrib bov, is it really loud?

sorry off topic but anyone else watch that video? what were the washers for? he never even used them and it was pretty funny when he hit his fender with the ratchet lol.

Ay Johnny B, you got dat blow out valve?

 

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

its not to loud. i like mine alot. just run it 50/50

Why would running it 50% dumped be better than recirculating 100%? It's just half as crappy. That sound sucks anyways.

A diverter valve doesn't sounds as nice as a pure BOV. But thats what our engines use so you should just stick with a DV (recirculating). 50/50 valves sometimes cause a CEL, not always, but the MAF is counting on all that air to be recirculated. All that for just a cheesy sound?

does give any extra hp?

no it could actually cause loss of hp.

Anyone who says it is a negative upgrade is lost. The worst thing it will possibly do is run rich between shifts. Ive ran mine for 20k miles and not an issue. All it is is sound or no sound. If your an old man you wont like it because it makes noise. You will not lose power

There is NOTHING positive about it except for the sound, so yes, I think it is a negative upgrade. This is a highly subjective topic, the only objective aspect is that there are NO performance gains and you can sprinkle in some negative side effects.

thanks bro, i think im going to install this soon

lol watch out for a 50 horse loss and your motor to explode and check engine lights nonstop . if you like the noise its highly recommended. and a so called negative upgrade would be a cobb intake.

i was actually looking at that cobb intake, y do u think its a negitive?

if you do a intake get a tune or ap. The cobb intake is said to heatsoak. the say you can lose 5-10 horse. if you get the intake get the box for it. i dont have a cold air intake because the stock one is pretty good

i got the ap, a friend told me that i shouldnt use the ap cuase i could blow the motor if i mess it up somehow
