BOV vs BPV (Which is better, What they do & Differences)

So you want to make some cool woozy noises don't ya? I know you've got your eye on that HKS SSQV BOV and just thinking about all those ladies that you'll impress as you drive down the road sounding like a full fledged race car. But let's step back and take a look at what the actual differences are between BOV's and Bypass valves. There is the legend, the myth and the horror that a BOV will damage your engine. But will it really?......

I’ve literally just changed mine back from a dump valve to my stock recirc again. The sound was fun and the throttle shut afterfire/bang were cool. But the lag in gear changes from losing all the boost is REALLLY noticeable. Did some pulls last night and jesus just keeps pulling rather than the car bouncing around the second clutch is dipped. I hadn’t noticed how bad it was till i changed it. Coming off throttle with the dump valve felt like hitting a wall almost like applying the brakes. With the recirc it almost feels like it just keeps pulling just stops accelerating.

@@mjaliazasif you want the turbo sound, get a intake, downpipe, to a strait pipe, or a cat back.

[@brentjames7007]

I have a GFB Decepter Pro 2, with a module I can use to open and close the valve from in the cabin. Basically for the sound and the novelty. Once I got the cobb intake I barely open the BOV and keep it on recirc most of the time. The sound from the intake is better when its closed (the cobb one sounds like a flutter). So basically, if you are after sound, you may as well just get the intake and avoid aftermarket bov, your wallet will thank me.

[@DriftNick]

Off throttle compressor surge does not slow the turbo and yes people have tested it, the "stall" is the air flow separating from the blades, it's actually better for response then running a valve because boost pressure is not released and doesn't need to be built up again, this is why it's common place in motorsport not to run a valve.

I had the same one on my 07 STI, when I went to get pro tuned I did a smoke test to verify everything before going on the dyno and mine was leaking causing the turbo to work a little harder to compensate for lost boost. No immediate danger but long term could cause damage, if it's working for ya than that's all that matters! I would just ensure that if there is a leak you can correct it, I lived the GFB when I had it. It was a happy medium for noise.

My 2006 Forester XT has the stock BPV but it produces a loud enough 'Psh sh sh sh sh sh' to make people out walking turn around, I think parts of the intake have been removed by a previous owner and it has a cold air filter inside the front of the wheel arch.

[@mickrichBMXWRXJapan]

Great video! So just to recap, for my completely stock motor (2005 WRX), there's no benefit in switching out the stock BPV for something else. If I want some noise but don't want to mess up the running of the car, I could get a hybrid BOV, so that some of the air is recirculated and some vented. Assuming that's all correct then, three years after making this vid, do you have any other recommendations for a hybrid BPV/BOV??

[@jooohhhhn138]

This gave me ptsd from last night...got a flex tube to run from recirc bov to inlet and it came too long so I made a middle connection after cutting and it was too tight and rubbed on my coolant line...sliced it...so had to pinch and cut the hose, reattach and then had me thinking to just plug the inlet lol will say, perrins bov is so huge if you're running fmic and have Aos lines running through the middle, it doesn't leave much room.....add this to trying to figure at baro p2227 code after dropping a new iag block in, starting the car sitting at 3psi idle and sweating bullets trying to find a leak in idle when I'm supposed to be breaking the motor in. Taking it too a shop down the street to find the leak though.....have literally reattached everything 3 times over and it is still there. New map sensor on the way just in case it is crapped out too...starting to regret upgrading all the stuff I did while waiting on the block that I did...blouch 2.5 pickle, grimm downpipe, perring equal length, walbro 450 but running stock fpr, gymkhana exhaust just because why not, perrin cai, cobb 1050x injectors...so pretty much too many factors

And sometimes the car dies and rpm drop down to 500. So just ordered a Boomba BPV so should fix my problems.

[@shawnshurtz9147]

No, the car runs super rich because it thinks it's got more air than it does. That's why you dont use BOV on MAF cars.

[@twostroke12v71]

Essentially it is meana to help the turbo stay spinning when the throttle is closed like during a shift. Automatics that drag race with turbos don't typically have a blow off valave because of the unitteruptrd power delivery ( think no lift shift on turbo 400 with manual valve body/air shift)
