well i bid ona tial on ebay and in the auction the guy said he couldnt use the bov because it wouldnt work with his maf(evo) this sound right to anyone?

anyone

 

Since TiAL 50mm BOVs relieve pressure into the air without provisions to reroute it back into the intake tubing, they can not be mounted after the MAF sensor without causing false MAF readings and driveability issues when they open.

 

i know that...but couldnt he easily make his setup a blowthrough style one?

 

have u seen the tial BOV's? they have no where to hook up a line to route the air towards the intake tract...they are relase in a full circle, not thru a barrel like others...we should be fine as we can mount the BOV before the MAF makin it so that it only reads it once, or locate the MAf on the intake side to mount the BOV whereever you want

 

yea theyre not meant to be used a recirculation valve...just a bov

 

Not recirculating a draw through setup is bad. Trust me. It hurts the drivability. He probably knew that.

 

well i know its bad but why wouldnt he just try to convert to blow through? have to retune everything?

 

might, but retuning for a BOV is not worth it, so did you win the bidding?

 

Making a blow through would require new charge piping and most definitely retuning. Evo's, just like STI's are very sensitive when it comes to the ECU.

 

and they have expensive to fix cheap glass tranny's

 

yea the tuning was mainly what i thought the problem was
