I cant see it being a prob. My mate Al (2LV8ETR) just put hes stock bov back on recently for the same reason and he puts 22 psi or more thru that baby and its all good with the stock bov, so i cant see ya haven any dramas. Also remember that plumb back system may be needed again.

is the HKS atmo or plumb back?

if its ATMO the tuner might have tuned to compensate for the ATMO stalling stupid behaviour

so if you find it being grumpy on gear change or return to idle and it was an AMTO bov

then it might need a touch up on the map and a re-check of the fuel cut recovery etc

not major, just a few screens to check, should take 10 minutes tops?

thats only if its ATMO and the tuner had to compensate for it being stupid

paul: what is the go with power fc tuning for atmo bov's? Im just intersted in wether its a setting/settings you change or is it just altering the fuel (and possibly igniton) maps to componsate for the air that isnt getting plumbed back into the system?

Just curious

Thanks

Most likely - spring rates, release pressure etc.

It might be minor, it might be ok... it's anyone's guess.

IMO buy a GTR BOV, chuck that on, live happy ever after (once you get the tune/driveability checked if its a problem)

most of the time just fiddle with the decel fuel recovery, I have mine set to 1200rpm and it's fine running without a BOV doesn't stall, even with the A/C on. With the stocker you can set it like 200rpm+ of the idle, so 1050rpm or so

if you set it too high your car will idle a tad high before dropping to the set idle setting.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
