stand behind the tial all day. so awesome

 

I really dont like the brass plunger design in either the Turbosmart or APS type BOV's. It requires maintenance and ultimately will start to get score marks and wear unevenly, resulting in a valve that gets stuck closed or open every 3 minutes....its annoying.

The APS unit might work better due to the increased boost surface area on the plunger, I have no first hand experience with it but I know the turbosmart unit causes low rpm surge/flutter like crazy.

 

well I've had my used aps twin vent in the car for a long time and never touched it.

 

aps ftw

 

A couple days after the TurboSmart started leaking, It got locked up. The car wouldn't release air anymore and this is a BIG problem, good thing was i had an APS ready on order. They only problem I had with the installation was that the coupler going to the injen UICP was way to short and wide as well. So I stopped by AWDmotorsports and got and ETS coupler as well as a ported exhaust mani. I haven't really been able to drive the car that much as I am getting a faulty O2 sensor replaced, gave me 6MPG when i drove the car (ran extremely rich, blew out black smoke like a deisel truck) . So I'll post up my impressions when i pick it up, probably by tomorrow.
