if you put a BOV on your car, should you bring your car in for a tune?

Good to know about the surge, I thought it was damaging too.

For anyone reading this now; the stock BPV is slightly open in idle vacuum, so if the end is open to atmosphere, it is pulling in unmetered, unfiltered air that the ecu is trying to adjust for, but can't (wavering idle). After a shift, the blow-off creates the reverse condition; metered air never reaches the engine. This accounts for flames from unburned fuel. Immediately after starting, you're getting unmetered air that causes lean conditions and misfires. Necrothread! |

This may or may be related to this thread but I recently installed the Perrin SR intake and immediately noticed a sucking of air and when I shifted the release sound which I can't really describe without sounding stupid by typing it but I will, phissssh and I noticed that I can hear it when I accelerate after entering 5th gear and I let off the pedal to release the air. Is it safe to assume that sound is just the intake? Car is stock with the only mod being the intake.
Now as far as I can tell from what I've read here, there are bad and good BOVs and it is not a good mod unless you go bigger turbo or you just like the sound but it is also not a bad mod because you like the sound but ultimately is a personal preference thing. I'm super new to Subarus and modification and I rely on the expertise and experiences of all the individuals on here but I must say that the unnecessary bickering and cred throwing around is a bit off putting for noobs like myself who gains nothing from it and continue to ask questions that would irk people and get the "did you not read the whole thread" spiel. As always, thanks for the input and I will reread this thread to figure out the answer to if a BOV is a really necessary mod or not. |

Can anyone tell me what type of BOV I should be looking for to replace this piece of junk?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-HK...f2ebba&vxp=mtr All of the decent BOV's I can find are made for a TMIC, and I'm running a FMIC so I don't have the flange. If I could get an adapter to use a TMIC flange I would probably go back to stock. **Edit: Found what I needed http://www.kstech.biz/servlet/the-68...dsh-off/Detail Hopefully this will help someone else in the future.

I'm a rookie and new to this car
So I want to get a bov and the one that's sounds like the one I want to get is the vta because I want to hear the sound of the air escaping when I shift, but would it harm the engine eventually? And I'm sure if I mod it this way then it would void my warranty right?
