Anyways, I lined up the male end of a 3/8" socket extension perpendicular to the top of the BPV, i.e. the cap. I then hit the female end of the extension with a hammer, until it dented in the cap about 1/8" to 3/16".
awesome, thanks for the info

Here's a stupid question - since the BOV mod is more efficient than the standard BOV and doesn't leak (as much) wouldn't you need to be retuned, especially when the car switches to OLF? Or is it just as easy as switching between my GFB and the modded stocker?

Yes, you would need to be retuned if your max boost goes up and was not tuned for in the past.

Can you update your pics. I just built a 2.5 with an FPgreen. The after market BOV's [turboxs and (Blitz a little better)] are loud and hard to dial in. I cannot stand the extra sound. The turbo intake is sweetness to my ears. the bleet of a bov is just apita, on top of irritating.

Thx

David

Any boost that is used to close the valve will be counteracted by the boost pushing against the valve, so in effect, still only the spring is holding it closed. More boost won't cause it to clamp tighter.

It would appear that you've only added more volume by added the second line to help equal the boost on the valve side, allowing the spring to 100% do its job.

If I lean against you and you lean against me with the same force, we both wont tip in either direction. Thats the same deal with the mod. The boost on both sides of the diaphram evens out and the spring becomes almost negligible.

You guys are right in what you are saying but it does not apply here. This mod closes off the bottom side of the diaphragm while still allowing pressure to the top of it. Under boost you will have boost + spring rate pushing down on the valve. The diaphragm has more area than the valve does so the force will not be equal on both sides.

No, that is how the unmodified stock bov works.

I don't mean to hijack, but Thought that BOV could cure or improve BPV rpm surge. It seems that all of you guys are aware in this tread of changes in this surge from one type of vale to another. My question si: could you please compare the RPM surge between any BOV with stock BPV and modded BPV?
Thanks you, sorry again

So, you just block the hole on the pressurized side, and drill the other out? How much do you drill on the second hole?

thus the valve is not being held close with more boost.... we are both merely pressing harder.

inactuality, the spings force then becomes EVERYTHING. this is why crushing a BOV keeps in shut under higher boost. crushung the BOV is effectively raising the spring pressure, which in turn DOES hold the valve closed tighter.

Before the mod the BOV acts the way you are describing. After the mod there is a pressure differential across the diaphram. That differential gets greater with more boost and that is what helps keep the BOV closed. If you vent one side of the BOV diaphram to atmosphere and the other side has boost then the boost helps hold the valve closed.

Am I ? I totally had this thing backwards in my head...I just saw the images again. Man I think I had a non-senior senior moment. TMS explained this to me in person a while back...think I would have it engraved by now

You just drill into the side... you're aiming for the same pathway that you plugged from the bottom. It's < 3/16" of material.
