Blow off Valve

[PFlorenzano]

Hello everyone,

 

As you may know, I'm new to Subaru's and I'm picking my car up tomorrow.. I'm very excited about it..

 

Anyway, I heard that there is a blow of valve that will give the car a sharp distinct sound, and more power..is that true?

 

Any information would be much appreciated.

 

Thank you,

 

Pete

i have a turbosmart BOV idk about more power exactly but the sound is perfect

[speeding_gaijin]

is that true?

 

no

I dont know about the "more power"

 

Dont go with a BOV, its more bling bling that functionality. If you want some sound, remove the silencer from the airbox and you can hear your turbo pretty well.

Thank you Carter and everyone else for their honest opinions.

 

Can someone tell me about the Stage 1 kit? I'm just looking for first hand opinions on it.

 

Thanks again,

You lose power with a BOV.

You lose power with a BOV.

 

Then what is the benefit of having one?

NO. As stated by others it is more under the hood bling than anything else. When running more boost, bigger turbo, stage II, etc. it may be beneficial or even necessary to upgrade your stock bypass valve with a bov plummed on 100% recirc. But at stock, stage I and "modest" stageII levels the stock bpv will more than handle the boost. Just bling/noise on a stockset-up. Do what makes you happy, plenty of info on here about them, search and you shall find.
