I just ordered ets intake, dp, exhaust, test pipe and ic with piping. I have read that the factory bov works well. If I run a aftermarket bov 100% recirculated would it be louder than the factory bov with an intake? At what point will I need a aftermarket bov? This is my first turbo car so I am new to this and I am trying to do everything right. The car will be getting tuned right after the parts install btw.

 

Yes.
When you upgrade the turbo.

 

I have the WORKS oem looking one and I gained +10/+5 by just swapping the stocker out and doing a dyno run. Drives like stock no issues bucking or anything. I had a synapse synchronic and tialqr previously and I got tired of messing around with the springs and different configurations.

 

^Stock turbo?

 

Steve, do you have it set to 100% recirc? Was it louder than stock? Did you need a tune? And what he said stock turbo?

 

you will need an aftermarket BOV if you get tuned over 27psi as thats when the OEM BOV starts to leak.

 

WORKS is a modified stock BOV, it does not have multiple settings and it will sound very similar to stock since only the spring strength differs.

 

My main question is if I install a turbosmart bov to recirc will it be louder the the stock bov with an intake?

 

Yes...It will. Needed...No.

 

I crushed my stock bov and found it performs better than the Forge Split-R and solved a shift issue I had at 6500rpm on my SST!

 

To answer your question, yes. I have the turbosmart dual port on my ralliart. I have it set to approx. 70% recirc, and 30% atmosphere. The small amount of air released makes a very noticable difference in sound. It is literally the "pssshhh" sound when released. Also, i have 0 issues running it like this. I have tried full recirc as well, and noticed no difference, other than the sound. Driveability was the same. I am running 23 PSI on it and it holds great. Hope this helps.

 

Somewhat it will be louder, and that is only if you listen for it. On my old Evo 8, I was running a small 3071 with a Greddy, then Synapse or whatever it is called, because the Greddy was leaking under boost. When I let off the gas the sound was distinctually louder, and sounded different than the factory metal version. I have the X now, I am pretty sure if I did the same route I would hear a different release, but it is not enough to make heads turn full boost while re-circulating, have fun.
