safest way to get BOV type sound

[03CrysBlueB6]

i have searched and searched for the last few hours... i know some solutions are:

intake - which if done wrong can screw up your car as far as heat goes.. but if i do like a carbonio (that i can get for 329 from local shop) will it cause harm to my engine.

cone filter on maf - which people like but i know people have had problems with

different DV - i know our cars arent meant for a BOV but what about a recirculating valve.. like the forge 007.. 80% recirculate and 20 atmosphere i believe

comments are appreciated

GBF hybrid valve from ebay + open air intake... not exactly performance smart but u'll hear ur turbo from 2 blocks down

[03CrysBlueB6]

will this damage naything.. im really not trying to break my engine trying to get this sound haha

[AudiA4_20T]

get a forge 007

This is kinda silly, has it been proven here that Bovs are dangerous? Has anyone here had a bov do damage to their engine? I sure haven't.

Just get a bov.

[A4 TSCHUSS]

forge 007 is 100% recirulation. And a BOV will NOT damage your car. People have this so wrong. Many people run them including myself. Forge 004 is the most common then some use the GFB hybrid or stealth and a few others like the HKS super sequential.

just doesn't run as well as it could

[A4TUNE]

safest way to get the bov valve sound? buy a bov.

if you don't want a bov but want the sound, buy a turbosmart dv, carbonio cai, and stage 1 flash. mine sounds like a bov i love it.

[EUROaleksey]

even SSQ BOV which is 100% blow off, will not damage anything.. but ur car might start running in limp mode.. ecu thing... Get a hybrid valve and be done..

[maclem8223]

My chipped B5 with carbonio and GFB hybrid was loud as hell!

[dirtybrd]

I run a BOV as well as many others without issue. Some will say it'll make the car run rich between shifts, but this is a split second and won't affect anything.

When i performed the darintake mod on my S4 i can hear the DVs pretty well, i didnt think i would like that kind of sound out of my audi, but i learned to love it.

i have a Turbosmart hybrid valve completely closed and i get the PHSST sound. no intake I bought it off here for about 100 bucks. Since your local we can meet up if you want to check it out. 10k miles stop and go traffic no issues.

SAFEST BOV type sound...

[eg6siR]

get the Forge "splitter" its a hybrid 007 and with a properly setup cone filter (properly setup = heat shield and front mount) you get a really loud blow off, and it dosnt sound retarded like an HKS does on our cars..... i have a cone filter on my maf housing with a forge hybrid and i have never had an issue and my friends with evo's wish their BOV sounded like mine... the SSQV sounds a little too fast and furious IMHO.

I plan on getting a Forge 007, is the sound suttle but still noticeable? I was next to a stock looking Passat the other day with a BOV... everyone 2 seconds when that thing down/upshifted sounded like a SCREECHING Bird, I don't want my car to sound ricer loud all the time.

Anyone know of a youtube video with a mostly stock 1.8t with a Forge DV?

[SeKKeY]

the thing i dont like about GFBs and the forge splitter is that dirt can more easily get inside and slow down the valve..unless youre checking it every so often

[FourRingsB6]

Im running a forge splitter on mine which is pretty much the best of both worlds. Its not overly loud but its certainly louder now that I got my car chipped. I know at least two others running this setup with no problems whatsoever.

Was JC talking about you when he was pointing to the cock-o-meter?

Nah, he was talking about you for being such a serious susan. Lighten up.

[aaaudiprotein]

or Forge 004

[Trev]

You wont get any extra sound by just installing a forge 007. I just finished installing mine (literally 10min ago). Their was no sound difference between it and stock. You will need some sort of intake or hybrid dv.

Forge Splitter

[Killerteve]

A Forge 007 will give sound if you have some sort of intake. On stock boost with all the pieces going from the OEM intake snorkel through the OEM airbox all the way to the OEM tip where it vents, the sound doesn't make it out. When I installed my Afe intake(not recommended) I could easily hear my 007 and it sounded good, more flutter than a BOV. When I got my K04 for some reason you would hear the blow off sound a lot more, even at like 8 psi. If you want sound while being safe, get a 007 and a TIP and intake. It will sound like the type of blowoff our cars are meant to have instead of the higher pitched ricer squeak sound. I have a friend with a WRX and BOV and his friend that's not into cars tells everyone his car queefs lol. FYI the reason that people say it's bad to run a BOV on our setup is because the air being released was already measured by the MAF and incorporated into the A/F mixture so venting it to atmosphere releases "metered air" which the MAF+ECU counted on being combusted with fuel. What people are saying in this thread is that amount of metered air vented isn't enough to cause any harm.

I was kidding. Top Gear is one of my favorite shows, just trying to share a little humor with a fellow TG fan. That was the episode where he tried to prove that all M3 drivers were "cocks."

[golgo13]

Forge 007 with carbonio and lets not forget DP and TP. exhaust makes a noticeable difference on the sound of you PSHHH per say .

Has anybody tried to install the 2 washers given with the stiffer springs in the 007? i have and is sputters like crazy i love it

[yung turbo]

im stock and i have the forge splitter on 8 clicks from the beginning and you can here mines but not too loud and i love it. i know if i get a turbo inlet pipe it would be louder then the n249 mod would be louder.

[biketsai]

Id just get a Testpipe/HFC, Cone filter, and a regular upgraded DV. That should satisfy your needs.

Ah, yes... probably one of the funniest episodes of that season. He makes the stupidest face in the M3 when he drives by.
