STi has a stock BOV........

 

All turbo cars have stock bov. You can't hear them because of the air silencer and they are re-routed back into the intake rather than into the atmosphere. With a CAI installed, you can hear the stock bov.

 

really?i mean i guess that makes sense i was just given miss info for a long time. so even with very low boost Turbos you have a BOV?

i really honestly dont understand why people put such high demand on the BOV noise rather then the function, i actually heard someone say they wanted a turbo solely for the hiss that the BOV makes... not for the added HP or TQ but just the hissing

 

there isn't a silencer on it... it just doesn't vent air into the atmosphere... it's a recirculating blow off valve meaning it vents the air back into the intake tract before the compressor (i think it's before the compressor anyway).

 

on cars with a stock turbo



Here's yer sign

 

ur such a hick matt. lol

 

ur such a hick matt. lol

your point????

 

is there supposed to be a picture there?

 

is there supposed to be a picture there?

no hes saying its a sign that a car has a BOV if it has a stock turbo......but he said it in some weird ******* fashion...

 

maybe he just wants to know what cars come with the HKS SSQV sound factory lol

 

I've got all the info I needed) and a long time ago, danke schon, gracias, спасибо )

 

Just an added note...

a BOV, used in the generic term is often mistaken for something it is not.

There are different types of blow off valves...Recirculating units, that obviously recirculate the pressure blown off back into the intake charge, 100% atmospheric BOV...vents to atmosphere and gives a sound, and hybrid units that do both (recirculate at lower pressure, and blow off at higher boost levels).

In most cases, recirculating valves are the preferred, for their ability to hold boost, build boost quicker after shifts by not losing pressure, no extreme rich conditions after shifts, and if they do happen to leak just a little, you'll have minimal negative effects. Atmospheric BOV are mostly "cosmetic" in nature...the WRX and Sti use a Recirculating valve stock...in most cases it's good up to 20+psi also (for the STi version, or mildly modded WRX one...since they did use different BOVs).

Just figured I'd add that...hope it helps
