wukindada Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 One thing I noticed when installing the GFB BOV, if you have a Perrin TMIC the hose fitting is not what I would call optimal:( Very tight...comes up a little short for my comfort, stock hose is almost a half inch too short. It will not fit over the lip bead of the BOV. Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will not fit over the lip bead of the BOV. Hmm so what it does fit, or it doesnt? Cause I have the Perrin TMIC and I would like to get a BOV.. and install myself.. with the help of some local guys.. but as a newbie I don't want to run into any major issues.

jarrod Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 If you loosen the screw on top it just blows off easier but you don't want to loosen it too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LI81TY Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Well you should be able to make flutter sound with that type of bov.. being adjustable.. Was just curious if this type of bov allows it.. due to the fact it has plumback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pluto Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Does the gaskets need to be replaced each time you remove the GFB BOV? Im getting a BOV when I got to Australia next month, but I have to take it off the car when it goes for servicing. Otherwise they scrap my maintenace plan and warranty.

Leonardo Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 Sorry to hear it. Did you install it 50/50 or full atmosphere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Bradtmueller Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Installed mine tonight... NOT that impressed... And I def don't think it was worth my 200 friggin dollars... It's not something you are going to notice just by putting it on. People have had issues with the stock BOV loosing boost. This unit is all aluminum so no worries about leaking. I think it's more of piece of mind than bolt it on and "WOW I can tell a difference". I installed mine last week along with my new AVO TMIC and haven't had any issues.

What were you expecting, to make you so unimpressed ? Plenty of people looking to buy, you won't lose much money on it if you sell.

zildjiank Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I installed at 50/50... Just think it's funny how expensive it was, and all it does really is hold boost... Oh, and make a psssh noise... I may play around w/ it a bit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonardo Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 actually, I got it so it would hold boost beter. When I ge the car back, (engine rebuild) I might either set it agai to 50/50 (to scare kids) or 100% recirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zildjiank Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 +1... I could immediately tell the diff in the holding pressure of the gfb compared to stock... Gfb held much harder and stronger, you can especially tell the diff when letting off at high boost...wow... Went back to 100% circ, like it much better that way. Less obnoxious... actually, I got it so it would hold boost beter. When I ge the car back, (engine rebuild) I might either set it agai to 50/50 (to scare kids) or 100% recirc.

Deer Killer Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Since the vacuum chamber is sealed by a piston vs rubber diaphram it will leak vacuum, depending on the temperature and how much oil is in the piston. Also I noticed even on 100% recirc it does make noise.. almost sounds like distant thunder as the piston closes... it's not a "good" sound..
