One more question sir: could you post the pic where your BOV is located when you have the time?

 

as you can see, i am running the MR grill on the drivers side.

 

Thanks.

When I'll be doing this, I'll swap it further up tho I'm pretty sure. Having the BOV in the open like that doesn't feel right to me and the fact it can be seen isn't really cop friendly either... Where could I locate it room whise? Would it make a big difference if it was located on the UICP after the intercooler, because this looks like it's before the IC right?

P.S. Your middle net is hooked off

 

i imagine you can put it anywhere, including the upper intercooler piping, as long as it is before the maf. on the evo x, there is a bolt right there and they bend the grill down so you can get to it, but thanks anyway.

 

That looks like its going to make a loud WAPPOOOSH sound. Nice!

 

So are there any companies looking into making a LICP for this? Would this be a way to go with e85?

 

Tial is always the way to go if u can avoid the maf trouble...


To the original poster: which spring do you use on your bov? 8?

 

I have no clue if any companies are looking into it, i would assume no. i don't think it matters what fuel you are using when you run this setup.

Yes, it has been a while but i believe it was an 8lbs spring.

 

Tial only makes: 7, 9 , 11, and 12lb springs

For the DSM/EVO using the stock MAF, the ideal spring to use is 9lbs.

 

i checked where i ordered the bov from before replying to this message and it says they make a 6, 8, 10,11. i ordered it with an 8. here is the link.

and to the spring page

The page you linked to is for the Tial Q BOV. You've got the original 50mm like I have. For the 50mm, the springs are rated at -7, -9, -11, -12psi - http://www.tialmedia.com/documents/w3_tial_bov50_sp.pdf

-9 is the spring to use. I've tried the -7 which was too light and hung wide open at idle, and I've tried the -12 which was way too stiff and never opened to vent even at full boost. The -9 spring keeps the valve closed at idle but allows it to open properly when it needs to vent.

 

Good info right there. Thank you.

 

yea, extreme called me about 20 mins after placing my order and said they had the old style in stock and wanted to know if i wanted the old or new style. i went with the old and assumed the spring rates were the same.

 

The old style Tial is better than the new Q IMO..

 

my opinion too, but they were getting hard to find so when they called i said i would take the old style. maybe i will take it apart to see what color spring is in it. thanks for the good info though, you learn something new every day.
