No Need For A Bov

i feel sorry for those individuals that actually wasted their money on a bov. i mean, with an intake and bpv spring upgrade you get the same sound. Does anyone agree with me?

I just got an intake and it IS alot louder. But the only problem with the stock BPV is that, well it just sounds a little weak. Does it sound any better after the spring upgrade?

Probably it sounds more crisp, but IMO nothing like a nice VTA BOV!

if it has a spring then you could give the dejon spring a try or add a few washers on the one you have now

I don't know about the spring. Some guy installed the spring along with a tune and guess what, he got a cel P2261. Then he put the stock spring back and the cel went away

It is close to the K04 but they are different size...so the springs are different.
