B.O.V. for new age
Hi Folks, firstly i apologise if this question has already been asked before but it is an area i`m in the dark about, so hoping someone could shed some light for me,
To anyone who has fitted a bov to a new age wrx/sti, is there actually any benefit acheived from doing so or is it just a cosmetic type modification, are they easily fitted etc and any recommendations of which would suit an 04 sti.
Many Thanks in advance for any help

I assume we are talking a VTA dumpvalve here?
Your car is already fitted with the BEST dumpvalve it can have, and it's a recirculating type. No gains are to be made in changing it unless you are running 400+bhp.
In fact using a VTA d/v can cause serious probs with the engine, and lead to premature failure.
Don't you think that if Subaru UK and Prodrive found ANY benefits with a VTA d/v they'd be fitting them?

Thanks for that Alcazar, you have confirmed what i had originaly thought, i knew it had the recirculator type and i had beleived it to be sufficient, but i have recently seen and heard cars like mine with them fitted so just wanted to know a little more.
Thanks Again
