just wanted to know what you guys are doing w/ the BOV i got the greddy type rs and have it recirculateing but was thinking about changeing it to just blow off alot of noise what are you guys doing and whats the pros & cons of it

 

put on your flame suit.....

ims say it first VTA IS BAD ..and you will run rich and studder and such and such....

 

Keep it recirculating. You will have stalling and drivability issues if you vent it to the atmosphere.

 

I am venting to atmosphere and have had NO stalling or drivability issues at all!!!! BTW I am running mostly bolt-ons and have 290HP to the wheels and 296TQ.

 

Sacraficing performance for the sake of making a blow off noise? Hmmmm?? Ya... Sounds like a real winner of an idea to me. Be a responsible Evo owner and stay out of your engine bay until you've learned and searched for your answer.

 

Wow, can you say search? I know I'm a newb as well, but damn...

 

Its ok, make it go wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh really loud, as loud as you can...
The stalling, sputtering, and performance kill is normal. But atleast you got the cool sound.

 

i didnt do s**t yet was asking the pros and cons of it before i did anything

 

You now know the cons of running VTA now. I say do what u want its not my car...go ahead and do it.

 

Sorry to be so... sarcastic. Once you've been on this forum for a while, you'll begin to understand. All the VTA threads get old quick. If you want to vent, it IS possible to do so and not sacrafice power, but it's not as simple as you may think. Please search on this topic. You'll find your answer. Trust me.

 

its cool i dont think im gonna vta now doesnt sound worth it just to make more noise ill just let the TBE make all the noise for me

thanks to all that replyed

 

My TBE is crazy stupid loud! I doubt i could get away with it in any other state..... Stupid ND!


Also, good choice with keeping it recirculated. Your evo will love you more for it.

 

i got the turbo xs w/ test pipe its not that loud

 

I got a Megan DP (3" of course) off this site for around $100 a while back. Then i had a local muffler shop bolt up a 3" pipe to the DP and weld my stock muffler tip to the end of it (to keep it looking stock) for another $55. No cat, no res., no muffler, no nothing. Basicly a long *** down pipe. That, mixed with cams, is almost TOO loud. I was running low on cash and couldn't stand running open DP anymore ... Although, in a way, i still am? It's just not so loud in the cab and doesn't rattle EVERYTHING (including my brain) anymore.

 

I have an HKS SS BOV that is VTA and I have never had any problems. I dont have the adaptor to reciurculate but I am looking for one because this bov is really loud.
