I have a GFB stealth BOV to fit to my R32 and was wondering if anyone knew for certain if its legal in SA since it can be changed from plumbback to vent...? Got pulled up tonight and passed but was wondering if I'd be so lucky if I had this fitted...

it's not legal ANYWHERE!!!!

unless it's the factory item, they will find a way to defect you or cause you hassle to go get it tested etc.

unfortunately his right, but the design of the stealth BOV is so that its harder for cops to defect you.........well its supposed to anyway.

you can argue that its plumbed back......alot of cops will think its okai but ull pump into the odd few who will put up a fight.

Like the other fellas have said... BOV's are 100% illegal unless stock from the factory... but you will notice that most stock turbo cars will have recirculated or plumb back BOV's... I just couldn't resis the Ssshhhtttt sound so I took a chance... got defected 3 times for it... but I had to push on as the let of sound is too addictive... up to you...

Fartyboy73 i think you've been made fun of more than helped :thumbsup:

I say stock BOV FTW, and plumb back FTW. Otherwise you need to consider how you'll hide an ATMO. I reckon it's pointless, as is the retarded PPSSSSHHHHTTt LOOOOkattT meemeeeeee!!11!!!1!

the stealth GFB bov is a 2 way bov. you can turn the thing to be either full plumb back (which is legal) or full atmo.

problem is if a popo looks at the bov and sees a venting trumpet. theres not much u can do to convince him its plumbed back.

just stay standard unless your putting allot more psi into the thing..... they rated for 16psi of memory, anyway its somewhere around that mark... My r33 has a nice sneezing sound (CHHHHHOOOOOOO), I like it, also when i'm driving near a cop just let go of the accelerator slowly half a second before you push the clutch, no sound from the bov = less cop attention (or in the GTA or scarface game world less heat)

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
