So do you think i need to call TSI or Procivic, about sending me the correct BOV? and do i need to send the one i have back? did you?

I need to know before i install this thing on the 23rd, am on the process of buying the AEM Digital PSI gauge with boost controller and the AEM eugo. both are going to run me like $430. and that will be it. i will be ready with everything i need for a good install.

Yea, i just call and the answering machine pick up, what is the best time to reach them?

[projectprelude]

im not sure really...a lady took down my number so they can call me tomorrow but i tried to call at 7 our time and they were gone

[Civic Pride]

Am not going to worrie about geting another BOV, i look at the picture from procivic,com that has the kit and my BOV looks just like the one on the picture, so it should work just fine. we will see what happen.

[projectprelude]

the one in the procivic picture is the one that i have ...im positive thats not the right one

Yea, thats the same one i have, why are you positive is not the right one? i would think that they know what they are doing, why will they send people a BOV that will be no good for the turbo kit? what are the pros vs cons of a recircular one vs a Vented one?

Edit:

I did alittle search on a vented BOV vs a Recirculating one and yea think we need to be running a recirculation BOV if we don't want to be running rich, i will be calling them tomorrow so that they can send me the correct one. basically it is better to be running a Recirculating BOV on MAF equip vehicles if you don't want your car to stall, but this also depends on your application.

It goes like this, a Vented BOV will release the air that the MAF already detected and by detecting the air it is telling the fuel injectors how much fuel to be pumping, and with he BOV releasing the air into the atmosphere it will create a rich condition on the engine, because there will be more fuel that air at the time the fuel is being burn.

I hope this helps some people that are new to this stuff like me.

come on guys lets get some more pictures and vids in here, wanna see these beasts roar

[PRO Civic]

As far as the BOV, it should be the same one as in the picture but TSI uses a special fitting (or "flange") to make the BOV recirculate. Civic Pride, have you found out whether you have that or not? Please let me know (via PM) or call TSI and we will make sure one gets sent out ASAP.

[projectprelude]

cool got my adapter plate for the BOV in today just need that harness and good to go

[asm8thgen]

sounds like things are coming along pretty well for you guys. about what percentage to you feel like you have completed, prelude?

[projectprelude]
