turboXS/obx rfl full aptmo bov

Post by azn2nr »

when i got my pipes put in the fitting welded on was one for a rfl/type h ect. this was adapted with heater hose to a wrx bpv adapter plate and a wrx bpv. well it wasnt working verry well and giving me a little surge so i swallowed my pride and bought a rfl and a 90 degree elbow because of space.

the above 2 parts to be exact.

it works verry well. stays closed durring idle with one pack washer. it likes to open everyonce and a while with none.

as for sound, if your looking to get some attention this is the valve for you. mines pointed right up against the hood so the sound is bouncing around alot too. its louder then the enitre car at wot when it goes off. if your not looking for such a loud noise the type h like jake has would be good.

I think the HKS SSQV that I have is just as loud, if not louder than the RFL. When I go FMIC, I will probably just end up going with a FORGE or TIAL or SARD BOV. Something a little quieter, but noticeable.

I like the noise, honestly. It wards off otherwise pesky competitors.

My Forge is quite loud. It scares the bajesus out of people walking by.
