Just switch it over to a 1G BOV. The stock 2G BOV is plastic and will leak at any sort of real bost levels. The 1G is metal and holds boost fine. You absolutely have to recirculate your BOV if you're on the stock draw through MAF. Tell him if he wants a loud BOV he'll have to either get a GM MAF and a translator box (hack ass upgrade) or run a standalone and convert to speed density. Also, an intake and exhaust really won't do very much on a 2G because the stock turbo is very tiny. The biggest restriction in a 2G is the tiny stock T25's turbine wheel.

A metal intake tube and metal intercooler piping (or fmic) will make his coveted BOV louder, but power wise it won't do much. Before anything you guys should get a datalogger. Then swap out that stock plastic BOV for a 1G unit. Then you'll need to upgrade that T25. Even going to a 14b off the 1G cars is a significant upgrade, but a 16g or bolt-on Garrett would be better. You'll then need to address fueling and tuning components. DSMLINK is very cost effective and does the trick. I'd look to get at least 550cc injectors in there, but if you have DSMLINK or AEM EMS; the bigger the better (to a point). If you both don't know ---- about DSM's and the owner's main goal is to have a loud wooooosh then the car is doomed anyway and will be a hacked pile of garbage in no time like all the other DSM's that have fallen in broke rookie ricer's hands.

i worked on a 2g dsm as a professional and every contact point of the bov was jb weld.

Re: 98 eclipse gst question
 

so in translation it is really strong

Re: 98 eclipse gst question
 

You and your buddy should grab a couple ropes. If you care about the bov sound your a douche.

Re: 98 eclipse gst question
 

my focus runs a maf and i dont recirculate the bov, the key is to adjust the bov so it wont open that easily. you might get some surge but to bov wont stay open long just for a brief second.

and shooting flames is ------- awsome :y

Re: 98 eclipse gst question
 

well we decided to go the costly route and order a injen intake with the universal bov adapter welded on. now we installed the intake and still have the stock bov cause the new one doesnt comein till monday. he says there is a check engine light on now but wont be at my house till after 230 so what should i be looking for. i have the diognostics tool. not the cheap one but a good one that i can see the accuall readings on everything. im betting its a maf problem but i could be wrong. and the one who commented aboutthe ropes you can go ---- yourself. he just got the car a week ago and this is just the first step in many upgrades to come. im sure when you run your car everyone knows its a turbo jsut becasue of the sound. around here there arent that many turboed cars so he wants it to be known that his ---- is nice. there is the ussual amount of evos and rexs but not any eclipse gst's.

Re: 98 eclipse gst question
 

So, you're recirculating the BOV and still getting a CEL?

Does the setup look like this? If not, try again, lol.

Re: 98 eclipse gst question
 

place duck call in line with intake. :)

Re: 98 eclipse gst question
 

Duck call or coach whistle ftw.

Lol.

Thank you op for just ------- regurgitating what i said about the gm maf and maf translator and then adding onto it like my post didn't make an ounce of sense. It may be a hack mod but it ------- works.

Eprom ecu w/dsm link seems to be the norm in the 2g scene here. A few people are running full stand alone but most are ------- with dsm link/afc's and eproms.

Like i had said earlier, it's hit or miss. If you vent it and it runs like crap, try the gm maf and maf translator. If you vent and all is well, call it done. 2g tsi/gst/gsx are weird like that.

Re: 98 eclipse gst question
 

That's probaly the dumbest thing I've heard in a quite awhile. So a loud BOV is gonna let EVERYONE know his ---- is nice?? No one around here gives a ---- what a car sounds like...as long as that ---- is fast.
