Garrett's 02 scoob

[D_Eclipse9916]

lookin good, can't believe how low those miles are! i love those wheels btw...haven't seen OZ's on a scoob in quite a while. hard to beat rally blue too. very nice.

i was actually about to say the same thing Kyle did....get rid of that BOV and go back to recirc, and with intake/exhaust i'd seriously consider a tune. good news is that otherwise you've got some fine parts on there to enjoy it. go autocross that thing pronto!

I actually took it to the college invitational.. first ever autox went from my first time of 81 to a 72 my last run. I loved every second of it haha, can't wait for the next one!

A BOV is beneficial if it is used properly, just like a run is good for your health unless you get run over by a bus.

Aftermarket BOVs get their benefits from sealing at higher pressures, and many times "reaction" times of the valve. Big plus for both of those.

However, it must be used in its intended use. That is, the airflow coming from the BOV is already calculated into your ECU's airflow tables. Therefore if you "vent" that air instead of recirculating back into the intake past the MAF, you have just deprived your motor of air that it "thought" it was going to get. Causing a rich condition. Thats why a lot of cars "stumble" or even die between shifts. You can use the HKS Bov, just make sure you have the adapter that recirculates the air back into the intake post-maf.


What this does is explain also why cars that originally vented, and cars that are originally N/A (naturally aspirated, no turbo) do not have problems "venting" their bovs.
