this is a dumb question but yea i have a hahn cai on my sstc and was wondering is there honestly any difference in power or anything between the cai and the short ram. cause some say yes and some say no.. short ram is easier to put on lol but yea jus curious and also if anyone could help im going to get charge piping soon hot side. whose good to go with and i need the flange welded on lol and what type of blow off valve would u recommend?? a lot say hks ssq

 

There's very little power found in bolt-ons because the ecm controls your boost and measures how much air is supposed to enter the engine, you'll find all your gains with an ecm tune. As for the bov do a lot of searching on that topic, otherwise you'll run into problems, best to stay with the stock bov.

 

Yeah there's really no need for a BOV unless you're getting a tune and bolt ons and whatnot. If you're staying stock the stock BPV is all you need, dont buy the BOV just for the pssh sound
And for the charge piping I know you can get one from Dejon that you can have the flange welded on right from them

 

Kind of correct. In the LNF's case BOV is purely a sound mod.

If you are going to a turbo that will be boosting well past Stage 1 sensor limits, then MAYBE you could use a new BOV, but no one has confirmed that there is ACTUALLY anything wrong with the stock Bypass valve. It doesnt leak, it doesnt rob horsepower, it actually lets the car meter airflow more acurrately than a VTA design. most of the recirculating design aftermarket valves use springs that are too stiff. This causes some flutter and surge which is the last thing you want to force your turbo to do.

If it aint broke dont fix it.....

 

This. Putting an atmospheric BOV on these cars, when there is zero evidence suggesting it helps anything, makes you look like a ******* attention-***** loser.
