[jezzerrr]

tried to search but it wont recognise anything 4 letters or under, so dont burn me for starting another BOV thread, lol

I'm 99.9% sure it's illegal in all states.

I have a Greddy Type S atmo on mine, and got a permit for it the last time I had to take the car over the pits. There was no problem with it at all.

I had a Blitz dual drive with the filter on it on my S15 I had previously and never had a problem with that one either.

A pod filter with no airbox/cold air partition is illegal. A pannel filter in the stock airbox is legal. Atmos BOV's are illegal because they vent engine gasses into the atmosphere i was told by one of the RTA dudes the defected me.

Hope this helps

Hey Sproosy, I had a pod filter and atmo bov that I got permits for when I got defected for being too low. Has the law recently changed? or is it only in WA that you can still get permits ofr these?

In NSW they dont like POD's and ATMOS BOV's and im pretty sure its the same in VIC. Not sure about the rest of country.

I never heard of permits dude, sorry.

maybe they are in WA only Permits are like approval for modifications to your car that make the mods 'legal' and the police cannot defect you for a mod if you have a permit for it.

For example, I have permits for the exhaust, pod filter, atmo bov, strut brace, non standard seats, pillar gauges. If you get pulled over by the cops and they try and defect you for something you can show them the permits and they cant defect you for anything that you have a permit for. B)

OK i see what you mean. They call them engineers certificates over here. But you cant get an ATMO BOV or unboxed pod "egineered"

EPA sux ass!

truer words never spoken

engine gasses,,, wankers. I guess I'll just have to take my chances. I've seen plenty of fooly sik cars running around with bus-brake BOVs so if i get picked up on it somethin aint right... cheers guys.

[Mulkers]

where are you from dude?

The law differs from state to state.

In vic BOVs have to be plumbed back into the system

[jezzerrr]

in qld. I thought if it had a filter on it they were ok... might at least serve to throw them off

[sproosy]

doesnt matter if u have an aftermarket filter or not. they will see it and go to town on you if its ATMO BOV. I was givin a "formal warning" for my BOV and egzorst, which means you dont really have to get it cleared because i never got it cleared and they didnt cancel my rego or ask any questions when i registered my car again this year. On the form it said they may cancel my rego if i dont get it cleared, i took a chance and they didnt, but i wouldnt recomend taking chances. After i get my cooler im gonna get it and the egzorst engineered to make hassles easier with the boys in blue.

[jezzerrr]

what was their prob with the zorst? just the usual too loud crap? so what ur saying is if you get it engineered you can just flash the slip/plate and all is apples?
