Give regency a ring.

I did some time ago and was told you are not allowed to touch anything that is concerned with the bov, being; the bov its self, the cross over pipe, the pipe that runs from the bov to the turbo inlet pipe AND the turbo to afm inlet pipe.

yeah, crankcase emissions.

More so how it plays with the afm and dumps fuel.

I blocked my bov off when testing if it leaked and found it would pop and fart & occasionally stalling.

Venting the air would play havoc with the air metered even more so.

I asked regency about aftermarket plumb backs.. I was told no, its part of emissions so I can't touch it.

This was some time ago.. Give Regency a buzz and see what their stand is on it these days.

Just block the std off and enjoy quicker turbo spool and almost zero lag between gear changes.

As mine spools so soon it caused a few driveability issues but nothing I couldn't work around.

um...a BOV (or recirc. valve) increases response in some cases, yes the air is released and that air does need to be replaced causing lag, but at the same time, the air not being vented without a BOV is forced back towards the turbo going the oposite way to the turbo causing the turbo to slow down quicky and to spool to the turbo up again takes time, creating lag.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
