Hey guys, I'm new to the Subaru modification world, I plan on buy a stock 02 wrx, what mods should i start with, I don't really plan on upgrading a turbo anytime soon, and want it to be my reliable dd.
ok thanks guys! I didn't plan on getting a cai, I've seen that they can do more harm than good when stock, but why not a bov?I know the stock one is good for now, but just wondering
main reason is a BPV differs from a BOV. stock BPV recirc air back into the motor, while BOV vents out. your cars ecu relies on this air to be put back into the scheme of things, not vented in a ppppssssttt fashion under the hood.
that being said the stock BPV is typically good for most minor turbo upgrades. once you start getting into higher boost, you will likely need to go aftermarket BOV. At which point your tuner can/will adjust accordingly.
If you really can't live without the sound the grab one of thoes fake electronic ones that all the ricers put on their NA hondas. Basically just a speaker under the hood that makes the pffftt sound, all the cop grabbing attention with none of the draw backs.
^ my thoughts exactly. When I saw BOV and getting tuned for it I just assumed he was talking VTA. In my opinion unless it is VTA then it is still a BPV not a BOV. My apologies if my assumption is incorrect.
