Now to put my 20 pence in.

I love the sound of BOVs, ever since they first came out and my Bro' had one on his RS Turbo, as soon as I could afford a turbo'd car that was first on my list of mods. You haters can put me in whatever bracket you like. Each to their own!!!!

Going back to Fast & Furious, I read a long time ago that the sound of the Eclipse was dubbed in with the sound of a seriously tuned Civic! Also the sound that a BOV makes also depends on the amount of boost you have, mine makes all sorts of different noises depending on when I let off.
I love the sound too, might be controversial but if you don't run with chatter or VTA sound you might aswell be in a replica! If you wanna go fast and not look cool get a Nova 2.0 16v.

I think there's more 2.0 Novas kicking around now than 1.3 & 1.4 SRs put together.
There is one less 2.0 though...

Because of the way you worded your "hard man" response.
Ex marine, what - chef

I didn't say anything about being threatened - your words again.

Condolences re: your sister by the way.

I was a Sniper u muppit and a chef isnt a bad thing in the forces anyway.have u been in?if u had looked u would find that my other half had wrote that reply due to her mate being molested as a child and I apologised for it. I don't pretend to be a hardman, i know what i can and cant do so I wouldn't do it on here as I joined to make friends and learn about my car and what I could do with it.

As I said you don't want to hear it so you pretend it's not there!
Where are the engine failures then

I have read it back and how you or wild pikey could associate having a BOV and being a paedophile is both illogical and if i am honest a lttle bit creepy on your part if thats the way your minds work.

Hope this had cleared things up for you.

I never associated anybody with anything, You did I think you have issues from your past, Maybe you as an adult drove round looking for minors with your dump valve but I sure didn't This isn't a pug forum by the way so no need for the comment in the first place then

I always wondered why my mate looked at me funny when I asked him how the Nova was running. He must have thought I was taking the p!ss.

Reading the last few pages certainly lightened up my evening....!!

I used to run a Blitz Supersound BOV on my MY99 classic. There were some negatives over running the standard re-circ in the running rich and backfire's however having owned the car for about 5-6 years, I had no engine problems.

Admittedly this was in my younger days when I thought a BOV was "cool." In my later years, this was then removed with the re-circ back on.
