Hi all

i have just fitted an XS Power BOV to my MY02 STi UK. Nice wooooosh from it on changing gear etc, and I know that you dont get any extra horsepower but my main concern is the fact that I may be damaging my turbo/engine

Is this true?? any help/advice would be appreciated.

 

If anything it will help your turbo (compared to not having any form of BOV)

Usually causes slight overfuelling on lift off, some people say this will harm your engine... some say it wont. Personally i say it doesnt allow enough over fuellimg to cuase any bore wash probs etc.

p.s. beware of the anti BOV crew

 

thanks mate. some people say its ok some say you can danage the turbo/engine. i couldnt hear the stock BOV and now that I have this it sounds soooooooooo cool.

 

Generally the people who say they are bad are closet lovers

Here we go again

 

beware!! xs power bov is a loud trumpet type but they are known to leak/stick the only thing you get from it is sound for the risk of eraticly droping inlet charge as said over and over unless extra high boost,fmic ect the stock is fitted for a reason why there is no gain just ptshhhhhh
OH NO (THE D/V DEBATE) sorry i tried not to

 

I'm with you on that one .... drives me insane
