Great thread. Thanks

Thanks for thread good info

[kopperman1474]

I am currently in the market and finalizing all the paperwork for my 2011 ms3. I already have a small list of parts I am looking to buy without voiding warranties. The only part that I have been reading about and sort of worried about is the BOV. I am leaning towards the turbosmart dual port 50/50, my friend has this exact piece but I think I would like to hear a little more from a forum. I know I can run full recirculation, but I also want to know that if I keep it 50/50 will my car run rich? It will be my first modification to the car along with a corksport stage II short ram intake. I am worried about the car running rich and causing ecu problems them eventually totally ruining my car. So any information would be greatly appreciated. I was also wondering if any lights on the dash come on such as engine check when you put on the BOV.

Thank you

You need to worry about other shit before you worry about a bov/bpv, the stock one is fine until you up the boost levels a lot. Get more mods first that matter, that should be down the road.

I have a 2010 and everything is Stock!!, You said "Get more mods first that matter" and Can you list them??

I really want to buy the K&N Short Intake and upgrade the stock valve to either a 50/50 BPV, I know its silly, but this is my First Turbo car and I love the idea to hear the BOV Noise, If I can have that on the 50/50 BPV, even better.

I dont race anyone or anything, But trying to decide the best for my car since I drive about 400 miles/week.

any suggestion will be more than welcome

[Madfbskills69]

thank you so much for all of these threads. im about to purchase my MS3 soon and knowing all of this info ahead of time before i upgrade is a huge help

Here are some pics of the stock BPV.







It's hard to see, but the small port on the bottom of the BPV goes up to the middle chamber:

BOV

Has anyone ever heard of this site? By no means do I intend to buy any of these but I found it fairly amusing to see an "HKS" bov for $50.

Something we did on rx7s.. Can the stock bpv be vented to the atmosphere? *flamesuit on*

i think yes, just disconnect the recirc hose, block it off. i'm really just guessing. lol

[KillerSaiyan]

+1 on full recirc HKS.. I had Forge v2 and now I have the HKS SS v4 on full recirc and I LOVE the shit out of it

[EPTSpeed3]

Anyone know if the WRX 08+ BPV or BOV work on the MS3? There are a ton of them for sale locally for pretty cheap on CL. Seen some Turboxs and Turbo Smart for as low as $70 for the hybrids.

You need to search a bit more. I know you just joined but please browse the sit a little bit and with almost 2 million posts on this site, your question will surely be answered already.

3 letter shit is hard to search for. Try google as well. I am not interested in BPV's (stay away from BOV's) but now that I actually looked, looks like turbosmart is dual compatible. Who would have thought?

ok i searched and i cant find an answer is the MAF sensor in the right spot for a BOV or do i need a convertion kit

what the fuck is with the brownies today?

You should know the answer to this question if you have ever opened your hood. bpv is post Maf.If you vta, you are releasing metered air. You will run rich on shifts and probably have some after fires. Plenty of people around here do it anyway with no real bad side effects. some people vta and block off the recirculation tube. Some use hybrid valves like the dual port or the Cobb. really up to you, there are multiple ways to skin this cat. By the way this was all covered in the thread if you had bothered to read it.

Sorry, I think it was a mistake to look for help at Forums, I forgot that people like you, would flame any type of posts or questions, Am I talking shit about anything or just asking noob questions? Like I said THIS is my 1ST Turbo car and I am learning about it, If you cant help on anything, just dont answer!! See, because of people like you that I will probably not pay to be a VIP member, This is my 4th post and I am already getting all Flamed!!!

i honestly couldnt tell if you were talking shit or not because your sentence was a quote/comment run on jumbled mess! you were talking about mods that matter and what not. so dont get all butt hurt, just laugh it off and continue on. getting an attitude and popping off at the mouth isn't going to help you or hurt us. it was an honest mistake on both our parts. (that is as close to an apology as you will get from me so deal with it) welcome to the forum and i still advise searching. a BPV/BOVisn't going to help you completely stock. yes it may sound cooler but whats the point if you are still stock and have no AP to tune for it if you need to? not to mention the stock BPV holds boost pretty well.

Thanks for the apology!!!!

Now We are getting somewhere, I know it sounds Dummy and everything but I have to be Honest with you and say that I really dont plan to upgrade anything for now, because of Money and few other reasons, Like I said before, this is my very first Turbo car and since I was a teenager, I liked the BOV sound and I thought would be "cool" to have that option in my car right now!, I understand that the Factory BPV holds the boost and everything else, but that dont give you the sound I was aiming for , I looked into the Short Intakes options for now and maybe later some new exhaust setup!!. I am reading everything on the "guide" and will get myself educated into these new "Turbo World".

I dont plan to go any faster, Wife is already complaining that the car is to fast!!!! lol.

BTW

MERRY XMAS TO YOU ALL

[Raider]

A BOV is not an upgrade. You suck at quoting.

Stop posting, Read your welcome PM, and the links in my sig. Then go to the Knowlegebase and read everything.

You dumb piece of living abortion; people have already answered your question. You do not need to replace your bpv. Get the fuck over that. Do not come in here, ask a question, have the answer be what you did not want to hear, and then go on to say you still want a bov without expecting to get burnt. All of the answers you will ever ask about this car have been answered on this forum. Knowledge the fuck up asshole.

You already are "all flamed". We're just telling you to shut your pie hole and search.

@Raider; how come when i tell him he sucks at quoting he goes off on me but when you groan him AND tell him he sucks at quoting he says nothing to you?! on my computer i can tell what he was trying to say but on tapatalk it was one huge run on paragraph with no spaces between sentences.

[Raider]

Because he knows you promised pics and did not deliver.

Ummmm yes. It's pretty much the only dedicated VTA BOV that can keep closed at idle but still give complete drivability without all of the post shift rich conditions and afterfire. Not to mention HKS has been making products for almost 30 years. Do I personally LOVE the sound? Not really. But to have a valve that is this reliable, well made, and care free is worth it to me.

Unless you have at least an AP, fuel pump internals, intake, and RMM, a BOV should be the least of your worries and could be money best spent on one of those other mods.

I agree completely with you, but I really want the sound. I have a CS SRI with TIP and RMM. When I get my next profit sharing I'm going to buy the HPFP and AP, if I have enough money left over I'm going to get a DP also.

[Dr. Speed]

Could someone add the GFB BPV to the list here? I know it's talked about elsewhere, but it would be nice to have everything consolidated here since the Go Fast Bits part is a very good and relatively newly-discovered option.

On another note, it's interesting how it is now 2013 and there are still so many damn people who just don't have a clue when it comes to proper forum etiquette. There's never a shortage of brownies wasting space and getting butthurt in otherwise useful threads is there?
