I really like the way it sounds when it's unhooked.. are their any downsides to this??? Does anyone know of any>?
Let me know
Thanks

 

If you mean unhooking it from the airbox, then no, it won't hurt anything as long as you block off the hole in the airbox.

 

it can spit out oil sometimes..and that can get messy..

otherwise. no downsides.

 

I put a K & N filter on my BOV to keep clean air going into it. Because i noticed that it lets in air when the engine is pulling vacuum.

 

so it may spit out oil and it will also suck in unclean air if it's not filtered.hm.... how does that K and N set up work??
Let me know and thanks for the opinions!

Dude, i vented mine and when i went to test drive it there was this loud *** noise when i let off the gas, im hopin my car is ok, it sounded like a loud, woooooooooosh, no oil marks or anything in the engine bay, did my turbo go bad, did i pop my engine... PLEASE ADVISE.........

 

ejmack> havent u ever heard a BOV? :p Once you plug up the air box and let the BOV vent outside, it is significantly louder...sounds like it's working properly and not venting while you're on the throttle, so its nothing to worry about

 

I hope you know i was joking!!!!

 

lol at first i was like...what the hell?

 

anyone have the part number on that K&N that fits over the BOV??
or even just a model number for a crankcase/valvecover K&N filter??

 

I used the K&N's the number is 62-1370 its a 2in. in dia. by 1.5in. long with a 1in. hole it also has the chrome end cap They look really good in the car.

 

if your BOV is working properly, it should not suck any air in. It's a one way valve.

 

Thats what i though too. it only lets in air at vacuum it doesnt leak or anything during boost. I also saw a few other post of guys saying the same thing.

 

dang.. thanks for all the info. I'm learning a lot. I really want to unhook mine, but I don't want to mess up my car.
Thanks again and any other opinions??
