so i bought the car with this already on it..i havent touched a thing. is this the stock uicp?? and if so did this person have this little "bung" welded on to attach this bov? idk...this seems like its in a bufu spot since its not actually on the pipe itself..

 

yes that is a factory uicp

 

no there is no bung there it is attached to your turbo inlet pipe where it should be

 

hmm...i see. so if i was to get a different bov cud i just attach that hose to the new one?

 

blow off valves are for paul walker and vin diesel.

 

yes it is easy to change^

 

ohhh...well that clears things up SO much. thanks!

 

every turbo charge car has a blow off valve

 

he means buying an aftermarket one for the PSHHHH sound.... THAT is for paul walker and vin diesel.

and he's right.

90% of evo owners don't NEED an aftermarket bov... the stock/MR bov would be just fine for most people.

 

Wrong!

VW/Audi's use a Diverter, and actually using a BOV makes them run like ****.

 

JDM IX DV ftw

 

BOV and diverter are used interchangably. Evo's have a diverter valve also since it is recirculated back into the intake. That should be the determining factor between a BOV and diverter valve.

 

Well, he said all turbo cars. I'm not talking about the evo in general.

 

What I am saying is that they are the same thing... only one recirculates back to the intake. A BOV and diverter valve serve the same purpose, and every turbo car uses one or the other. They might even call it something completely different.

 

True, but some people consider them totally different, the less informed people. They are the same thing, but one vents to the atmosphere and one recirculates.
