I get the stutter when low boosting, but i was really after the high pitch ching sound. Do you need to run more than 7 psi to get it?

Apexi dual chamber BOV is easy to install and sounds awesome, has that high pitch sound when revving hard!! also has 3 different sounds but you can hardly notice the difference between them

i don't know if i'm sold on the brotec. my cousins friend had one on his 180 and it didn't make the whup-whup-da-doo-whup-chufff sound he wanted. maybe he just didn't have the right setting chosed on his ecu? the brotec bov is tuneable, isn't it?

Bro you gotta retune it, I know this guy with a whikid hookup at Carshop nagano if it helps.

They offer a complimentary can of coke while you wait to

Why would you bother getting an aftermarket BOV that is plumb back if the stock one is plumb back ?

So basically atmo BOV's are good for performance because there is a slight decrease in lag and they prolong turbo life but plumb backs are good because they give a smoother ride ?

i would love to go, but eddy told me they want 3 surfie shirts per re-tune?? I don't have that kind of doh atm... ;)

almost right.

the only change to your post is that ATMO bovs are good for nothing.

Aftermarket plumback bovs are good for the sticker they come with.

This brotec device sounds interesting.

I'll take 12

As a matter of fact Brotec is running a special, buy 12 get 15 free, but the offer is strictly limited to the next 50,000 callers - be quick

i will sell you mine. I'm sick of the farking thing. I've had to have it re-tuned so many times it's not funny and it still doesn't go whup-whup-da-doo-whup-chufff.

I got a HKS super sequential BOV on my car....only because I don't want my turbo stalling when I lift off the throttle. I dont care what anyone says, I'd rather be safe and run a BOV cause for me a GT30 aint cheap. Anyways, I must make my point about the HKS superquential BOV: what a gay souonding BOV. WTF did the designers think: that a squeek is a nice sound....they gayest sounding BOV on the market. The design concept it great but why did they choose that sound? Im gonna plumb it back very soon. If anyone knows how to make it sound just like a pssssht rather than like a cat getting run over, let me know. The reason why I bought this valve is because of its design (push-pull) which garantees no leak but sure as hell not for the sound.

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • 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.
