hello all.. <br>like the subject says, i just finished installing the bov. first impression after installation was, "wow, this thing is loud..". i love it! i know how "ricey" this new toy is, but i couldnt help myself. <br>installation was pretty custom, and if anyone is interested, i can go thru it step by step. but please email me. <br>another misconception i picked up from the forums was that by swapping out my oem dump valve for an aftermarket blow off that bleeds into atmosphere rather than back into the intake, was that my car was going to bog after heavy acceleration, well.. thats not true. i had to fine tune the bov so that it wouldnt open under full boost, but after tightening the screw about 2 turns, i can hit a full ~14~15 psi.. and the sound.. damn.. i love that sound! <br>i had to have a custom pipe made from the intercooler to the throttle body, and mounted the bov there. unlike the oem rubber tubing, i had a straighter steel pipe made. less bends, less of a path the air needs to take to get to the tb. <br>anyways, i love it. <p>next up: xs turbo and xs front mount intercooler... <p>thanks for the bandwidth,<br>brian
