hey i wanted to put an intake in my car along with a blowoff valve and intercooler piping, do you guys have any recommendations for which ones to buy? thanks..

 

Lots of options if you search there are tons of threads on each of the items you are looking for. Opinions vary quite a bit.

I happen to love my ARC induction box, Buschur IC piping and Greddy Type S BOV. But there are a lot of options that work well. Most people will recommend you keep the IX stock BOV.

Good luck and have fun with the car.

 

Lots of threads on this subject.

First I assume your getting the BOV for the sound please don't. First get a Cone filter with a hard pipe kit and your going to notice right away the BOV is much MUCH louder. I like the buschur filter I have since I haven't tried the others I can't really comment on them Ditto on my selection for IC piping.

 

keep the stock one, it will be plenty loud

 

ok thanks a lot

 

oh yeah.. at what point should i put in a bov? once i hit 400 to the wheels?

 

i think you should go with the Tial BOV

 

The IX metal BOV holds up to 28PSI i think. I personally am using ETS short route IC pipes and an AEM intake.

 

get an intake and you will hear the BOV perfectly!! and your car has a great BOV on it already and will work for plenty of HP but its the boost that will make you need to upgrade but unless you pla on running over 28lbs theres no need to swap it out

 

I have herd of the stock bov leaking at different psi levels, the only way to find out for sure how much yours will hold is to do a boost leak test on it. should hold around 25 psi but if you are going to crank the boost up beyond that some nice upgrades include the APS twin vent and the forge rs. Make sure you stick with a bov that will recirculate unless you plan on running a speed density set up.

 

as for the intake and the IC piping I would go with the bushcur intake and there upper ic pipe(set up for stock bov) when you plan on upgrading your intercooler go with the BR Race fmic and the lower ic pipe to go with it. if you are not a fan of buschur, then AMS makes some nice parts also.

 

Forced performance intake, AMS intercooler piping or ETS piping

 

Just watch out for some intakes. The IX don't idle right with some straight through design intakes, thats why I went with the AEM. I guess its hit or miss or you'll have to rescale the MAF.
