Re:making BOV sound cooler
I'm a mazda/VW tech at the dealership I'm a tech. at. I see the Bosche ones off VW's for $20 shipped if anyone interested. They just make a swoosh sound like most common BOV's when they're not used a recirculating valves. But you can always tell when those Bosche ones are starting to go bad cause they'll make a flutering sound not a swoosh sound when shifting. When it does that it means the BOV is dead and needs to be replaced. I've had to do a bunch on 1.8T VW's especially the 99'-00' 1.8T Jetta Wolfsburg editions.

hahahaha they never want to race. it's funny as ---- seeing the look on their faces.Yea it's a kodak moment. It's soooooooo frustrating though. Why is it when I had my old D15 Dx motor I could find people left and right and was doing o.k. for a 85HP motor. Now that I have all this crap done to my car everytime I race another honda or any car for that matter we both take off ( From a light or roll ) and I start pulling on their little SOHC's and they stop. Always. The last three times I've raced people I haven't even made it to the top of 2nd gear when they stop cause they end up seeing I didn't spend my money on Bodykits , wings , lights , fancy rims ,etc. like some other honda owners do. Damn this sucks. This is one of the reasons I think I'm starting to get out of street racing. You sit there and make your car hella fast and none of the punks that before were rev.ing on you want to go.

as i said before, people have used that BOV to over 20psi without any problems. their effectiveness as a BOV is directly related to the mechanical ability of the person using them. if you want to spend $200 to get the same effect, that's your business. i'll stick with my $10 part..
