Sweet, I wonder if I could just spraypaint the purple one, thats the one I want but not very keen on the purple with my mainly stock engine

I have a can of plasti-dip...that might thicken it n mess up fitment thou

I added my blow off hpf front mount and jb3 on map 5 all at the same time so i could really tell you about power gain except it felt like a shit ton

I have the HKS SSQV. Everyone loves it. I installed over 25000 miles ago and still is leak free.

You mean it sounds softer?

I think it still sounds pretty high pitched. Im bought the purple insert with my pipe, should be here soon.

I got the purple guy cuz it sounded a lil less high frequency then without so we'll see

P.S. The one I ordered is the V3 and has the red insert..wonder if I should just keep that..

[thez99]

Hey just a lil side question im sure someone here will know, the OBD port under the steering wheel, the cover over it, does that just snap off, dyou need a flat-head or something, seems like it has some sorta of snap or lock on the side, wasnt sure, anyone answer

We take out the HKS insert on a lot of setups. It gets rid of the whistle sound, and only takes a sec to remove.


and with the adapter and recirc. kit there is no sound.

I think you'll like the purple sound better. I was just saying his car isn't very loud for the mods he has..

Sorry if im off, but why in the hell would you want a recirculater for a BOV setup....isnt that the whole point of the BOV, to do away with the shit recirculation that is the Diverter valves, and instead BLOW OFF the excess boost pressure which gives you faster spool and torque?

Where can I find a DIY for the BOV?

[infinitekidM2C]

What part of the install do u need help with?

Everything from start to finish. I'm a complete rookie but this is something I want to learn how to do rather than pay someone to do it. It's also handy to know incase it needs to be removed between service intervals etc.

[infinitekidM2C]

i can write up something if there isnt a DIY..check e90 boards also..and then N54...if nothing lemme know
