bov's arent allowed to vent atmospherically, full stop.

legally, they have to be 100% plumbed back.

edit: even if the pod is secured, its still good to get a permit, there are some wanker police out there that stop at nothing short of a permit.

was funny.. i got pulled over today whilst driving my housemates wrx.

officer asked me to pop the bonnet, so i did. he then started pointing at items asking me what they were, i just claimed it wasnt my car, and i didnt know anything about cars. worked a treat ;)

LoL! That's an idea! I was gunned at 59km/hr on a 50km/hr road. And frankly, i didn't know it was 50 on all roads. And i just got my car and all. So i told the copper that i didn't know anything, i just got my car. Worked like a charm too. I think the fact that i havn't converted my liscense is another contributing factor. =D

I have a Greddy atmo BOV and got a permit for it no problem.

The cops are supposed to ask if you have permits for the mods they are pointing out. If you have permits they are supposed to accept them and let you be. If they are having a shit day like Strich9 says, they give you a yellow, and you have to pay to take it over the pits to show them that you have permits for it in the first place. The whole system stinks!!!!

I've got permits for my BOV HKS SQV, Pod filter, etc.

How did you get permits for the HKS BOV? I got the HKS SSQV one, and im sure you cant plumb it back. So how did you get the permits for yours?

I got told that you put a ball bearing in the vacuum hose coming off the top of any BOV when your in the pits, and it wont make any noise, so they can't get you!!!

Plumb-back BOV's are legal and require no permits as they meet ADR's and are supplied stock on most turbo model cars.

Atmospheric BOV's apparently dont meet ADR's I hear they fail because they fall under being a nuisence and distraction to other drivers.. Not really sure on how truthful it is but even with permits you can still be slapped with a yellow for atmo BOV's

i guess its just luck on what cop ya get and wether he got laid the night before... if ya just ploddin around and dont be a smart ass i find cops to be alrite, i even had a cop check out my in dash tv :) ... but if ya up and down the gears bein a tollie then they might get a pit picky.. no cops are the same and all i get pulled over for is breath tests or licence checks, just be polite and they might not hit ya up with, just pop the bonnet mate hahaha ..touch wood

I thought that the SSQV is full plumb back system? there's that thin tube going back into the engine thingy?

yah I did that ball bearing thingy while going through the pit...there is a thin hose going into the SSQV remove that and shove sumthing to block the air flow...and tadaaa no sound at all...but really use up a lot and a lot of fuel...

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
