RFL actually stands for "real fuckin loud" i'm not sure if that's on the website or not, but we tested those when they first came out. not sure how they'll work on the S4's but they were interesting on japanese cars =)

also check out turbosmart...they're even crazier.

Don - some comments for your consideration - LONG - shortyq 2002-09-24 23:09:39 (1740 views)

Very interesting, as are your cars : ) - what's that smell?st 2002-09-25 10:08:32 (989 views)

Interesting info - thanks Scott. BTW I've been practicing my left foot braking. =) - markbradford 2002-09-25 07:16:49 (1016 views)

Okay let's review: How much sheer abuse did BOV folks endure here before this? - sans-audi 2002-09-24 16:11:49 (1267 views)

A ton. Why? Because they were FULL OF CRAP. - nyet 2002-09-24 16:13:37 (1418 views)

Some people admitted it, in their defense : ) - what's that smell?st 2002-09-24 17:05:17 (824 views)

Well, yeah. - sans-audi 2002-09-24 16:18:08 (728 views)

Don what about "engine wash" - WJM 2002-09-24 14:52:35 (1406 views)

All cars are subject to the same emission standards, both high and low rpms - DonIstook 2002-09-24 19:30:47 (1085 views)

very true A/F ratios are what they are... - WJM 2002-09-25 12:28:38 (860 views)

Thanks Don! I still have a question about the design with a MAF though. - Joshua (wishbone) 2002-09-24 10:54:23 (1007 views)

I think he is saying it only runs overly rich during idle (if the valve is misadusted and open) - nyet 2002-09-24 11:12:15 (965 views)

Naw, the car runs rich in essense because say for example you take your Forge valve - zapco98 2002-09-24 11:23:15 (1343 views)

ah got it. - nyet 2002-09-24 11:24:22 (679 views)

Yeah I got what he was saying with idle and non-boost applications.. - Joshua (wishbone) 2002-09-24 11:15:51 (849 views)

Don, can you confirm that these are the right ones? - DABearS4 2002-09-24 10:28:27 (1071 views)

Thanks for the info! Now my S4 will be perfect! - DABearS4 2002-09-24 10:25:35 (896 views)

bless you for these informative posts... - SameerP 2002-09-24 09:45:59 (1065 views)

what about metered air dumped between shifts? - BOOSTD 2002-09-24 09:39:49 (803 views)

I was wondering that too. Must run rich during shifts no? DOn, would you recommend this for...... - markbradford 2002-09-24 13:06:48 (897 views)

Well - I was thinking about this the other night - I don't think the ECU really knows what is coming - zapco98 2002-09-24 10:43:09 (878 views)

the mix getting to the O2 sensors is probably how it knows... - TRM @ velozt.com 2002-09-24 11:09:27 (864 views)

Does it matter how much is coming back?? - Joshua (wishbone) 2002-09-24 11:07:16 (786 views)

Right - but figure that if it goes back through the MAF, and say you're off throttle for a couple - zapco98 2002-09-24 11:13:39 (885 views)

Well... - Joshua (wishbone) 2002-09-24 12:38:34 (639 views)

[edit] but now the extra pressure in the INTAKE system will prevent MORE air from passing the MAF - nyet 2002-09-24 11:17:51 (772 views)

*and the whole S4 group moves to BOV's* ;) great info Don! - Audiboy 2002-09-24 08:51:28 (1001 views)

;-) - TRM @ velozt.com 2002-09-24 08:59:59 (645 views)

Would this valve also work in the TT? Is all the information accurate also for the 1.8t? - Power5 2002-09-24 05:37:21 (862 views)

track this thread FOREVER! good stuff Don - thanks for sharing. - TRM @ velozt.com 2002-09-24 04:58:09 (605 views)

so can you tell us exactly how to setup the valve to keep it closed at idle? (amount of washers etc) - andre d 2002-09-24 02:27:36 (751 views)

Trial and error, but it is easy - DonIstook 2002-09-24 04:46:52 (885 views)

Did you use software to measure any particular value? What did you use to confirm that you had - what's that smell?st 2002-09-24 05:50:04 (758 views)

The software was my finger on the valve to feel if it opened or not at idle. - DonIstook 2002-09-24 05:56:41 (865 views)

Cool, thanks. - what's that smell?st 2002-09-24 05:57:27 (710 views)

Yeah, that would be my next question also. - what's that smell?st 2002-09-24 04:17:03 (628 views)

With a DSM adaptor I do believe!! hjahahaha nice! - Milpitas2.7T 2002-09-23 23:32:58 (891 views)

Hi, so basically any BOV would work on 1.8T as long as I get the adapter kit from Turboxs? Thanks. - Jack Wang 2002-09-23 22:44:28 (1173 views)

no meng.... - wnut 2002-09-24 09:53:19 (946 views)

Oh, Ok, so for 1.8T the BOV will be where the BPV is..am I thinking right? - Jack Wang 2002-09-24 11:49:08 (1959 views)

there's about 3 ways to mount a bov on a 1.8t - wnut 2002-09-24 12:12:22 (1275 views)

Is there much to do with the H valve to install it? Or is it just "plug and play"? - naptownnogaro 2002-09-23 22:16:47 (878 views)

iirc they're about $150 a piece... - wnut 2002-09-23 22:20:53 (1204 views)

thanks - naptownnogaro 2002-09-23 22:24:41 (643 views)

You are the man. - nyet 2002-09-23 21:59:45 (727 views)

this is what i've been saying all along... - wnut 2002-09-23 21:53:58 (1048 views)

Saw this on rookie Edwards car . . . look a mechanical throttle valve . . . . ! - boscoj 2002-09-23 21:11:56 (1571 views)

i'm 99% sure that it's a forge bov. - wnut 2002-09-23 22:29:32 (1738 views)

You can barely see the pop off valve on Galati's and Bell's car in this pic - boscoj 2002-09-23 22:38:57 (1790 views)

Yup, they have a single BOV (which Subaru folks use) - Audiboy 2002-09-24 08:54:07 (849 views)

by jove I've think you've got something . . . - boscoj 2002-09-23 22:36:56 (740 views)

This is the one that I found on the site is this the right one??? - FAS4T 2002-09-23 20:53:09 (1948 views)

that bov is crazy loud! - wnut 2002-09-23 22:31:39 (1466 views)

As Stealth4 says-I think he means this one. You're going to order two of them tomorrow, aren't you? - gr 2002-09-23 21:06:32 (948 views)

I could buy them right now, tempting! but what about the mounting hdwe? - FAS4T 2002-09-23 21:12:32 (968 views)

I think its the regular H one, unless ur making ajoke - Stealth4 2002-09-23 20:54:50 (712 views)

no really I think I may be blind this is the only one with an H that I found on the site.... - FAS4T 2002-09-23 21:06:48 (911 views)

Damn you and my credit card bills!!!!!!!! - Giga2Envy 2002-09-23 20:23:25 (733 views)

So... how much do these bad boys go for? ;-) Where can I get em? - zapco98 2002-09-23 20:15:20 (882 views)

http://www.turboxs.com/ - DonIstook 2002-09-23 20:17:28 (1965 views)

How about the mounting hardware? Is it the same as they have for the "1.8T?" - zapco98 2002-09-23 20:30:41 (823 views)

you are awesome, thanks for the real life tested info. - Stealth4 2002-09-23 20:12:58 (839 views)

hey, you said a "little tip" - Odorless-Clandestine 2002-09-23 20:10:59 (943 views)

Well, the tip itself is small, but it took a while to get there - DonIstook 2002-09-23 20:16:02 (1111 views)

Well, it's tremendous to see someone take the time to post up such concise and useful info (truly). - Odorless-Clandestine 2002-09-23 20:21:47 (958 views)
