I don't know which ones better, but all I can say is mine blows-off. Thats all I need.

oh yeah am sure it does.. but by next weekend will have mines up... thanks for your feedback

[Zeuceone]

greedy type rs BOV... hopefully I can get it resolved... am now am having issues with my tsx wheels i tried putting them on and it rubs, most guys say on theirs it doesnt but am sure they are not dropped on tein ss coils. problems problems problems

Get a turbo xs RFL but i would put it at least 6in away from the TB thats what i was always told on my car.

yeah that is what am talking about some distance from TB.. thanks my car is now on the shop and should be ready by next sunday with a tune and everything... am happy about it, had lots of time spent on that over this weekend.... near my area not many poeple weld sh_t on aluminun.

im not shure which greddy BOV it is but the one my friend had was not loud so you can hear it.

I would put it in the fender well area behind the bumper. This way no cop can pop your hood and see that you're discharging air into the atmosphere that is not being routed back into the intake nor exhaust (if the cop knows what a bov is). I was always worried about that back with my boosted EM1. But then again my greddy kit came with a CARB sticker so I didn't have to worry about the turbo itself being illegal.

I have a B.O.V. adapter that comes with a flange and pipe already together (way easier):

The way you have the vacuum lines run, you should really install a one way check valve just before the PCV connection. That way when you boost, you won't be pressurizing the crankcase. Even with a new PCV, it will not completely seal and will allow for some pressure to blow by into the crankcase. If the PCV fails, you will be pushing as much boost that the intake manifold sees, past the PCV and into the crankcase.

In the optimal configuration, you should really get a vacuum block and T off the brake booster hose. That would allow all connected hoses to see the same amount of boost or vacuum. In your current setup, the devices connected to your vacuum source are not getting the same reading since you have more than one T-fitting. If you install a vacuum block off of the brake booster, your PCV hose should be connected as in the stock configuration, but you will still need to install a check valve on that hose to prevent the PCV from seeing boost. Here is a PIC for reference:



If you need one, I have a bunch for sale and a few other things in this thread.

nice, its a little more complex than other setups I've seen....

That is a very good point. I'll be picking up a check valve from you shortly (I really want that scanner too) Also, on the subject of the greddy kits, I was looking around CRSX and found that a lot of people that have the stock configuration (running the PCV hose from the valve cover to the induction pipe) are getting a lot of oil\sludge build-up in the pipe and inducer side of the snail. Everyone recomended to cap the nipple on the induction pipe and use a breather filter on the valve cover nipple. How would you recommend that be resolved? I ask because I know you have refined already the best kit out there.

Responded in this thread since it is swaying off topic a bit.

Am getting my car back tomorrow, am very happy and will post results on feedback very shortly, thanks for all the help

[djpreview]

got my car back and will posts pix shortly... needs a big time wash....

[djpreview]

anyone else has pictures of their BOV set up?

[Zeuceone]

still need a spot?

[Kidekat]

the closer it is to the Tb the more effective it will be. However, in the interest of being stealthy, I would hide it somewhere along the pipe that is between intercooler and TB.

Personally the BOV should have its own vaccum source.

How are some people getting away with the vent to atmosphere?

I'll have my Synapse Synchronic BOV installed this next week so I'll try to post some pics after I do. I'm planning on putting it near the throttle body. The only thing I worry about is that it came with a steel flange and the piping is aluminum, can it be welded on effectively? I will be finding out soon...

[SpeedDemon]

No one is having problems with the BOV and making the piggyback go into limp mode?
