Dreprince Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Can anybody confirm if the BOVs that fit the 15-17 WRX will fit the fifth gen Legacy. For eg. The Turbo XS Hybrid BOV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLlegacy Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 If it is specifically for the wrx, you will need to get a hose adapter since our hoses are both 34mm, where the wrx is smaller on one end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreprince Posted May 2, 2018 Author Share Posted May 2, 2018 Oh ok cool....are they're any other good BOVs for the 5th gen legacy? Apart from GFB bovs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreprince Posted May 3, 2018 Author Share Posted May 3, 2018 Grimmspeed with the adapter. Thanks to Gteaser for posting this info up in one of the threads here. http://www.grimmspeed.com/electronic-boost-control-solenoid-3-port-solenoid-only-2015-wrx-fa20-2010-2012-lgt/ http://www.grimmspeed.com/turbo-inlet-adapter-2015-wrx-fa20-2010-2012-lgt/ Thanks for the reply....but neither of these links are for Blow off Valves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Oh ok cool....are they're any other good BOVs for the 5th gen legacy? Apart from GFB bovs?Turbosmart makes their Kompact line as well as their Dual Port line that both fit our cars without modification. I believe our fitment is the same as Mazda, 34mm in and 34mm out hose fitting.

Scubaboo Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I was reading the sticky and came across this. Just as mentioned by Gteaser it looks like Turbosmart make some that fit. Ok, to make up for my wrong post earlier - From ChrisCrash in the "what parts fit the 5th gen sticky": The only aftermarket BPV that fits on our cars in the stock location is the Turbosmart Kompact 34mm unit here. http://www.turbosmartusa.com/product...-universal-fit If you have a Racer-X charge pipe, it relocates the BPV onto the charge pipe from the stock location and you can use any BPV that fits the 08+ WRX and 05-09 LGT.

Shadow_419 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Oh ok cool....are they're any other good BOVs for the 5th gen legacy? Apart from GFB bovs? I'm running the Boomba WRX bpv. The hose adapter is really super simple and I wouldn't rule out good bpv with 15-17 wrx fitment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLlegacy Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Its technically a short piece of silicone hose made for the correct nipple size for the wrx fitment. So if you buy a wrx bypass valve, (not blow off valve<---requires tuning unless you run it semi open and monitor your tune)...anyway if you go with the wrx one just go down to your local parts store and get a piece of hose small enough to fit over the bpv fitting and large enough to fit snug inside of the factory fitting. If you just want noise, consider sourcing a racerx charge pipe it places the valve up on the engine where it would be easier to hear with a 50/50 valve.

Shadow_419 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I can't hear mine really from inside the car. Sound wasn't what I was after though when I replaced the factory one. If sound is what you're looking for, a 50/50 or adjustable bov is what you'd likely want. Relocation like FLlegacy mentioned definitely will help.
