Just don't cap off the hose and you won't have to worry about it really. Just cap off the intake. These cars specifically have a few bad eggs here and there that have the BPV/BOV open under boost on stock tune, which is exactly why they need to be there. Just leave the hose venting to the atmosphere and it'll be kosher 👌

It says it doesn’t but a base velo here in ohio has the wing and mine comes in Wednesday so I can update you then

@@Slowster_any update? And do u have the link to it? Thanks

I never replied but it did work but you will have to get rid of the 3rd brake light where the oem light was

@@Slowster_ damn g I got rid of the base model and got a veloster N

Asking because I got the same car and thinking about doing this

@@kawligahardesty205 mathematically yes there is a little power loss but its not noticeable. Ppl only rly do this mod for the cool sounds😂

Good thing it won't kill the turbo.

That flutter though lol I bet you can feel the life drain right out of that turbo unit plugging the pressure release hose like that, it doesn't hurt the turbo at all unhooking the hose the car companies run them either back into the intake or exhaust just to reduce noise its about as important as the sound reducing padding they use in cars, but plugging it like that to cause flutter isn't a good idea, it throws the maintenance light in the cluster and all that cool sound you hear is the blades crashing into pressurized air that's kinda like how when you jump or fall into water and it feels as hard as concrete from surface tension, the other part is the exhaust has to escape thru the turbine so it has pressure crashing into each other causing back pressure on the engine and over time...well you will see if you run it with that bov hose plugged like thatl, you want the noise just cut that hose or take it off fully right at the B.O.V. Port that will increase noise without damage to the engine.

@@rickymoore4248 "the other part is the exhaust has to escape thru the turbine so it has pressure crashing into each other causing back pressure on the engine and over time" wut

@@rickymoore4248 you’re dumb I own a wrx that flutters every day runs healthy as ever

​@@DriftNickThank you for acknowledging all these dipshits that no nothing about turbos. 🤦🏻👊🏼

I believe that is obvious 😂. However, we are learning more about this car every time we work with it and we are enjoying the process. If you have any recommendations to help us along please let us know in the comments.

Good luck and we appreciate it !

half a tooth is perfectly fine, I've had as much as 1 1/2 teeth off which causes running issues etc. The biggest Achilles heel on this cars is more timing belt maintenance. I've had 30+ of these cars.

We will be sure to look into that. We are planning on going through the entire timing assembly at some point.

around 200-250 tongue weight is the most we’ve run. The sagging is not noticeable. It handles the weight super good. The 2015+ wrx has a 3,500 pound towing capacity with a 300 pound tongue weight. The numbers are scattered on what it really is but those numbers are on the safe side.

@@genslergarage343those numbers aren’t on the safe side. The cross-trek, which uses the same chassis is rated for 2500 lbs tow and 200lb tongue

It definitely sounds like anti-lag or aggressive 2-step which was my first suspicion. However, I pulled the ecm to check for that and bad capacitors. I found it is a stock non-eprom so there's no tuning capabilities.

Thank you for pointing this out! I’ll be sure to correct myself and credit you in the next video. We are still learning about vehicles with all of these sensors as most of my experience is in diesel and small or simple engines. Please if you catch any mistakes in future updates of this car don’t hesitate to correct me. The input helps us a lot.

@@genslergarage343 No problem. Its cool to see you playing with one of these and common problem when its idle surging and running like shit under load is bad capacitors in the ECU

I’ve head that, I’ll be sure to look into it. Thanks again.

After almost a year of daily driving, he’s never had a single issue besides the reoccurring CEL

@@genslergarage343 thank you. Can I get the bolt at any old hardware store And do you have a rough estimate on size? I know it was just an extra part on hand but a ball park estimate would be nice.

I would say 3/4” to 1” diameter as an extremely rough estimate.

What year is it? It could have different safety protocols on the bypass sensor of a newer velo.

If the light persists, unhook the ground cable on the battery for 10 seconds or so to force a diagnostic system reset. If that for some reason doesn’t work, clear the code with a code reader. (If you don’t have one many auto parts stores will do it for free)

@@genslergarage343 will unhooking the ground cable reset any other stuff?

Your clock.

@@genslergarage343 where should I unhook it from

Just unhook the black cable on your vehicles main battery.
