05LegacyGT330Ci Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 I was thinking of getting a blowoff valve and its not coincidence I put this post in aesthetic as it does very little if anything for performance but the sound to me is something I really like and enjoy to hear. The pssshhhhht sound has always been sonoynmous (new word ha) with a turbo to me and I'd really enjoy to find out about any that you know are particularly good and have good sound characteristics.

agctr Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 I have to admit, that would be one of the first things that I would be kitting up. There are BOV's out now that u can tune to be loud or soft so that might be a good option to go for. GFB, HKS or any of the top brands should serve u well. Adam.

Deer Killer Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 You know if you turn off the radio and climate control you can hear the BPV :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05LegacyGT330Ci Posted September 10, 2004 Author Share Posted September 10, 2004 ^^Yes but I want a little more sound then what is currently there.

05LegacyGT330Ci Posted September 10, 2004 Author Share Posted September 10, 2004 ^ I'd like to but I don't have nearly enough information on the engine or any tools to do the install so I would probably have to seek out professional help or atleast some diagrams. I'm not quite sure about all that goes into the installation. '05 Black Legacy GT Wagon 5-spd '02 Topaz/Black 330Ci 5-spd Drift Ryder's School of Rally Arts, coming to an Australia near you.

Guest *Jedimaster* Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 BOV's are an easy install. I don't know if the ones form the WRX would work though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Th3Franz Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 If I end up getting one, it will be a Blitz one like my buddy with an STi has. It sounds great. -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red beast Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 if you like the bling good for you. i'm from the "old school" for speed. hide it don't flaunt it. it's better to see the surprise on their faces later. and difference is ok everybody wants to be a little different. that is one reason I got the 3.0 rare red sedan. and a little more "presence of vehicle" to persuade people to stay out of my way. and to spit down on people. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helfrick Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 This one looks interesting: [url]http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=433336&[/url] Yes, I think BOVs are kewl.

bemani Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Depending on the size of the BOV (cuz some of them look like a freakin' air horn), you might have to cut the plastic engine cover for clearance. (You don't want to remove it outright since you need it to seal the hood scoop. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apexjapan Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 The AVO BOV will fit snugly under the engine cover, can be set up for vent to atmosphere or total recirculation. When set for vent to atmosphere for that nice ppssssssssht sound, it still recirculates most of the air, keeping all the systems running smooth. It's also ridiculously easy to install, since it's designed to bolt up exactly the same as the stock BOV. And, ok, I think you can start ordering online from next tuesday (no promises, though...).

05LegacyGT330Ci Posted September 10, 2004 Author Share Posted September 10, 2004 I wish I could find some sites with sound clips so I could hear them you think for a product that it mostly all about sound the sellers would put up a small sound clip to hear how their product sounds.

05LegacyGT330Ci Posted September 10, 2004 Author Share Posted September 10, 2004 Maybe not for you but it is for me. The Legacy is a performance car for me and to me its a sleeper I want it to just chill but then when people here a little PSSHHH from the car they think what was that that just went by.

Drift Monkey Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 RICE!!!!1111 Is this supposed to be in this forum? I guess, since this is "asthetic" (I hate the name change, the "bling bling" name was 10x better :P) but I'm suprised it isn't in the 2.5 Turbo forum..
