Charge Pipe and BOV question
Hey guys,
So I installed a VRSF charge pipe with a TialQ BOV today. My car is completely stock otherwise. I planned to tune MHD stage 1 after installing the charge pipe. After it was all said and done I drove the car and there's no blow off until about 6.5k RPMs. There's also no turbo flutter as if the excess air is being pushed back into the turbos. Can I try tuning the car/upping the boost to see if the blow off opens sooner? Or do I need to buy a lighter spring? The BOV is red, not sure if that determines what spring is used in it etc. Thanks. of note: I broke the plastic nipple on the intake manifold off during install. I epoxied it back on and made sure not to block the line. Not sure if this has anything to do with it. Update: Problem resolved after tune. It now blows off at the appropriate rev range. I'll leave this thread up in case anybody else experiences a similar issue. Last edited by Colinoscopy; 04-08-2018 at 02:17 AM.. |

What spring did you order? If you're on stock boost and installed a heavy spring, it might just not be opening because it's never seeing a boost value to make it open.

Just curious if you enlarged your intake manifold fitting and using a 4MM vac line as they are required for the tial to operate normally.

I used whatever tubing they sent in the package, which I'm assuming is smaller than 4mm, havn't had any problems though, no flutter, etc.

I have the XS Bov. It came an extra spring, 14.5 psi. My bov is half opened at idle with the preinstalled spring, which I read is 4.5 psi. Should I install the extra spring? My car has the mhd stage 2 tune. I was also reading, it is the vacuum that determines what spring to use?
Thanks, B Lei |

You should upgrade it for optimum performance. Most people who don't think they have a problem, realize the BOV is far more responsive and better at blowing off once the lines are upgraded. There are various threads about this on the forums, mainly E90Post. |
