Hey guys I want to get an hks blow off valve for my cobalt. I am given to understand it's not particularly a good idea but I just love the sound is the any way I am able to get one without running too rich and losing boost in between shifts?

 

Not with a Pre BOV-MAF system.

your best bet is to relocate the MAF to the lower CP, by buying ZZPs lower CP with MAF relocate. Then you wont get rich spikes when you shift.

 

Is there any way I can get it to chirp even without having to do that?

 

The rich spikes are not a big deal. Are you tuned at all?

 

SRI or CAI will make the bpv a lot louder

 

Regular street tune only 20 psi

 

I just want a high pitch chirp they sound so cool

 

get a SRI it sounds better

also stop being a ricer

 

is that a recirc or bov?

 

no its an intake. K&N is an SRI which stands for Short Ram intake

 

never mind stupid question because it's an intake lol

 

So you recommend not going with a blow off valve to avoid headaches?

 

Eh, its up to you. as long as its setup correctly you wont have any issues. but if its not setup right, you're gonna have problems.

its your car, im a ricer and had an HKS on my EFR turbo. it was awesome. no ***** given. BUT i did have my MAF relocated to the lower CP

 

was it a difficult job relocating the maf?

 

nope. ZZP sells the lower CP with the MAF housing. just get that pipe and a MAF extension cable and you're set.

 

Not too bad! Thanks so much!

 

you do need retuning when you relocate the MAf though.

 

yeah for sure

 

I was in that boat for about a year and now I run a forge bpv. The car runs so much better with a bpv. Even with maf relocate and turbo block off plate, the amount of revisions I needed with bov was ridiculous. I'm also very picky lol

 

so you recommend not doing it? Just to save the headache?

 

If you have the money, it's worth it for kicks. Just get a CAI or SRI like the other guys said. It makes a nice crisp noise when you let off the throttle. Audible from outside the car...

 

yeah I'm starting to think just to get the sri

 

Yeah start with the intake. It's the biggest sound mod there is on the LNF. It's night and day with K&N intake on.

 

okay thank you

 

sure you dont want cool stustustu noises. get a Tial bov fam. sounds ****
