As you are new to Turbo's, it may be worth pointing out that an Atmospheric BOV will potentailly make your car run like arse as 33s are designed to have the BOV plumbed back into the system.

Having said that, a mate of mine has one of these on a pipe and may be willing to sell it...

I have one that you can have complete with the pipe including the flange for $50 plus postage.

Here are a few pictures

Please PM me if you are interested.

When you say run like arse what do you mean by that? How much would he be willing to sell it for?

Dont do it!

Factory plumb back BOV only.

Do some research into how turbo AFM based engines work.

Changing to an atmospheric BOV will make the car run like shit as said above.

Mr. Kitto since it seems you know what your talking about why don't you educate me? :P

The air that has been measured by the airflow meter is released to atmosphere instead of back into the system.

The ecu (computer) has read that air and added fuel to match the air.

So the engine can stall when you clutch in as now there is too much fuel.

Plumbed in bov keeps the air in the system, so all is well.

This.

If you really really want an atmospheric BOV (I dont know why because they attract attention and are soo cheesy and wanky) then you will need to move your AFM cold side of the intercooler and have the BOV located a fair distance up stream of the AFM. When you move the AFM youll need a proper retune.

Moving the AFM doesnt always work either.

Or switch to a MAP sensor based ECU.

Best option? Retain the factory one.

Alright great thanks for the info. Didn't know that So what type of aftermarket BOV is plumbed in?

Nuh it's all good. I didn't know there were different types of BOV to be honest. But thanks for the explanation, but I'm good :)

    • 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.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
