Smile Forge Atmospheric BOV Review

I tried making a vid but my exhaust kills it. Anyway, IMO well worth it. Alot louder than a intake+original forge bpv....I am using the ECP tune aswell.

Before Mods:
ZZP intake
ZZP Catless DP
ZZP charge Pipes
CS intercooler
Muffler delete
Forge BPV
Trifecta 22psi normal tune

Current Mods:
ZZP intake
ZZP Catless DP
ZZP charge Pipes
CS intercooler
Muffler delete
Forge Atmospheric BOV
Trifecta 22psi ECP tune

I changed nothing else except the tune and added the new Forge. As far as the Trifecta ECP tune goes it feels the same as the Normal Trifecta tune to me. The new forge honestly is just for sound and it makes alot of it. Im overall happy with this mod and forge made a nice piece. As far as install goes its just as easy as the forge bpv takes...15 minutes max.

Yea the automatic sits ahead farther (closer to impact bar), figured it out the hard way. ZZP, and whatever other companies that offer a IC thats sits below the impact bar are the best for auto's. Still might pic up a ZZP IC.

Ill try, its raining today. Jerry at BNR made a bunch of vids but in all honesty it sounds nothing like that its much louder and higher pitched...I wasnt expecting much when I bought it I thought maybe it would be a little louder than my old forge but it surprised me...I cant even hear the intake anymore.

Not true. Treadstone tr8 may not fit without modification....tr10 does not. I had to cut notches in the crash bar

Does it make a squeaky/flutter noise at higher boost levels?
