Speed density set up, or fmic with a blow through set up. If not, you are going to have obnoxious after fires due to the rich condition you are creating when you let off the gas.
ok thanks!!!! only 75$ not bad. so nothing else for install like extra hoses or parts. what comes with the kit is everything minus the speed density set up?
It's not going to ruin the motor unless it leaks big time.
That being said, the stock BPV is more ideal to use for a multitude of reasons, good price or not. The car will in general run better and be less of a hassle.
Before the sh*t-storm on the horizon there is no "BEST Intake" each product has its merits. assuming you are planning on a stage 1 OTS tune the Cobb SF with box is very easy to install and because most people do stage 1 with an accessport the tune procedure is 1/10 on the difficulty scale. With the box you also get the benifit fo using the stock snorkel so your air is "in theory" cooler than engine bay air.
the Cobb SF intake will NOT provide the fastest, coldest or the most dense air but the installation is extremely easy, the tune with an accessport takes 5 minutes and it is louder than your stock intake. Many drivers report being able to hear more from their stock BOV with the Cobb SF so you will get a bit of that "whoost" that some folks love so much. Finally they are very well used across the community so there is support if you have trouble with it.
**TLDR the Cobb SF intake is GOOD, but nothing is the BEST for everyone**
Blow off valves are generally frowned upon, but one with an adjustable spring is better than one without. I have an APS dual vent so that some MAF'd air is recirculated. It only backfires under wide open throttle.
I thought it would spool faster between shifts but I noticed absolutely nill performance difference However, I love the sound and the flames FTW!
I feel safer getting a tune after installing it even though I've heard tuning doesn't affect it much. I don't think I would recommend one without a tune.
Hey guys. I've got an 03 wrx with a front mount intercooler. It has a greddy bov not sure what model. It leaks with anything over 10psi though. I want a new bov. Or tips to try with the one I've got.
That doesn't sounds too healthy. See if it has a screw or something you can tighten up. If not, get a bov that is partially recirculating & adjustable so it doesn't leak. You should easily be able to find details on how to adjust a bov. Good luck!
I even ran mine 50/50 with no issues. It's a sound piece
