Aftermarket BOV (plumb back) make any performance differences?

[Ranton]

BOV/BPV Threads should be banned... its the same over and over again.. i bet people get sick of having to repost the same again and again..

i remember on my old VW forum i had a Post that i had Saved in microsoft word to copy and paste the same time any one asked this particular question..

I agree - almost - there needs to be some avenue for discussion left open, but I've written heaps on it and have kept a few old posts as a C&P source too. I just wish people would search for prior threads and research the net before asking questions. It's stamping out all the misinformation that irritates me most - "I luuurve the noise - can I put a BOV on my pushbike....duh!"

Come to think of it - there have been a few duplicated threads here lately - it'd be nice if they could all get combined into a single thread but I know that gets fiddly.

At times i just feel like telling people go ahead.. go buy a VTA... enjoy the CEL.. peace yo!

Ummm, Maybe I'm missing something here.... Admittedly I have not slept for 30 hours....

Make the good BOV/BPV thread a sticky? Surely that would solve the problem?

Nope... People still get trigger happy and post the same freaking thread a million times over..

Especially with Blowoff Valves... Probably one of the least important parts of your engines function...

If you are loosing boost thru it Replace it... if you want to change it change it.... the rest is personal preference depending how legal you want to stay or how noisy and stupid you wish to play...

sure its easy to say just search, but short search strings don't work such as BOV. also you cant say VW is the same as Mazda. ALthough the principle of the BOV will be the same between different manufacturers, there may be other things which is car specific.

also this is a discussion forum, my post was not what a bov does, not what bov should I get, but a specific question about throttle response (amongst other questions) of an aftermarket bov compared to stock. If your sick of the 'same' bov thread, then just dont read it. no one is forcing you to.

sorry for ranting, but although I am well aware of some aspects of turbo cars, I have not owned a MPS 3 before. Even when noobs come and ask the 'same' question, they shouldn't be ridiculed into thinking they aren't allowed to ask questions. thats how we learn. if you don't want to aide that, then just dont read. no need for negative input

end rant/

Its for the noise! Just get one you can change between plumb back or vent, when you get sick of the noise.
