IX bov w/ a 35r?
IX bov w/ a 35r?
Hi, I just bought a BR 35r kit and I was wondering if a factory IX diverter valve work be ok for this set up or what BOV should I get. I plan to run the maf as well.
Any help would be great thanks

Id say no. Im on 28psi with the stock turbo and my DV held up great for a long time but a few weeks ago it finally started not holding any more and leaks like crazy. The suggestion I got for a new bov was the Forge RS with adjustable spring rate from 7psi to 34psi. I havent gotten it yet but its on its way. Its supposedly the best recirvulating bov on the market.

On e85 I cannot imagine the IX DV is going to hold a 35r. I think at most it is good for 30psi and that is not really a long term 30psi, more of a 'it theoretically could hold this much' number.
A quote from a post from Mike@Forge on the APS twin vent bov.
"Well, I have very little personal experience with the APS valve, but with the little I have, I think ours allows for more flow, and a wider range of adjustability and compatibility with more applications.
The APS valve is a "hybrid" or "50/50" valve design that, while very nice, we have decided not to offer.
While they can be made to work in some instances dependant upon the application, they provide little to no actual real world benefit over a solely recirculating valve or solely atmospheric valve.
It basically boils down to the point that: Either your car's engine management system, whether factory or aftermarket, will accept the use of a solely atmospheric valve or it won't. If it doesn't, use a solely recirculating type.
While it's nice to have that blow-off valve (whooshing) sound, we feel it's more important to have a valve that will perform flawlessly regadless of the amount of noice it makes. We do not design our valves to make a particular sound nor to accomodate those people looking to trick their engine management system, whether factory or aftermarket, into thinking the car is operating properly. We design them to flow the most amount of air possible, reliably.
Having a valve that allows for either configuration, recirculating for most applications and atmospheric for those applications that will accpet it, it's a win/win.
This valve was originally intended to be fully modular in it's design to offer compatibility with numerous applications and we have successfully achieved that goal.
While some may not agree with those above statements, they are my personal opinions, and based on significant research and testing of numerous valves over the last few months.
Part of the reason why we can truthfully say that "We can offer the widest and most complete range of vehicle-specific and universal blow-off and diverter valves in the world." "
And the Forge RS can be converted to be used as VTA if you ever chose to do so.

It will not hold boost. I have the APS twin vent on my 6265 and it's not holding boost as well as it should imo. I would say try the Synapse Synchronic BOV. I plan on switching over to this BOV. It can be recirculated and supposedly is the best in the market. It's $300 bucks tho. You can always go with the tried and true Tial BOV, but seeing as you are still on the stock ecu, your car will probably run like crap since it cannot be recirculated. Forge RS supposedly makes a good BOV as well. Searching the forums on what good BOVs are out there would probably help you here.
