I just got a Greddy BOV and Apexi power intake for my 2005 RS. Can I exspect good results out of these parts performance wise and sound wise. Any experiences with these parts please explain. Thanks

 

yes...but single spring mod the greddy if its the type-s

 

Yes its the type S BOV. Is it a must for the one spring mod because I am afraid if I do that then it will leak boost.

 

it is a must... 2 springs will make your idle rough and many stalling issues, trust me from first hand experience and tons of other ppl as well. and make sure you put some teflon tape on the top adjusting screw...heres a great how to and explanation...

this lonk will help you tons, and end in a flawless install takes all of 10 mins.

 

I have the Greddy Type S without any spring mods...havan't had any problems.

 

theres only a select few who don't have issues with both springs in..but the majority have stalling problems big time with both springs... my suggestion then..try without any mods..and if have stalling issues, then do the single spring mod

 

I will try it with both first then if it stalls I will take it off and fix it. What about the Apexi intake? Do you feel this is a good filter? Does it make some good gains and sounds?

 

Sounds? well as far as sound, any aftermarket open filter intake will make the turbo spool sound MUCH more defined and your BOV louder than stock airbox...and of course intakes gain a few hp if you go further as in cat back and boost controller, you should deffinetly go for a mail in ECU flash to smooth all things out and make everything perform to its fullest benefits. Have fun!

 

Thanks for your advice Mobounce.

 

I've never understood why people order the parts and then ask questions before install, why don't you ask questions before you buy? lol

 

You 'll love the sound of the Apexi, plus its a dry filter so no oil to coat and no oil on you MAF. Its been proven to not only out flow other filters but has just as good filtration as the Blitz filter. HKS has decent flow but terrible filtration hence the good power gains.

 

Well I did alot of research before I bought the parts so I'm pretty confident in what I got but I always like to see others opinions as well.
