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

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 :)

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
    • FYI: Racebox RE7R Custom Tunes Released!   https://goracebox.com/.../2017-infiniti-q50-q60-re7r-tcm...   FOR GEN 2 (21+) VEHICLES, PLEASE SEE NOTE AT BOTTOM See more   But whomever tuned your car is the tuner you should go back to, AMS, Sonictune or BT Tune....
