3.3TT So about the stock BOV...

[Hydrajin]

Get hks, you'll hear it alright lol. Outside the car it will be heard from blocks away.

 

[Edders]

Has anyone run into any problems with this setup?

I really want to give it a try, because BOV sound is awesome, but I don't want to screw up my ride

 

[Rakker]

Are you guys securing the plugged hoses to anything or are you just leaving them in place?

 

[microgab]

I'm going to Lowes this afternoon for unrelated reasons and I kinda want to try this mod. Anyone else want to chip in if it should be safe or not?

 

[MrSmoofy]

You do know that removing the hose and capping it off defeats the purpose of why it does that right? I mean sure it's a cheap way to hear your turbos. You could get a CAI and hear them and keep the proposal function of having the blow off go back into the turbos.

Stock BoV's do make some noise once cold air intakes are installed.

Yeah I tried it and didn't notice any difference in sound. I have DIY intakes.

Really? Did you let the car warm up first? Mine is pretty loud I can hear it inside the car with the windows up. I have stock BOV and Injen intakes.

I can definitely hear them inside the car as well.

Yeah I can hear it but it's not any louder than it is with hoses hooked up.

Waking up an old post with an off the subject question-with all this dyi sound, is there a way to completely disable the fake “engine/exhaust sound” from inside your car???

Will doing this diy mod ruin anything has anyone drived with it??

 

[Luc343]

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this but it is a good idea to put little filters on the bov because some air can reenter the bov as the pressure goes down. I have seen this on some after market bov, while other don't include small air filter.

It might be better to be safe then have unfiltered air enter the bov just before the pressure drop causes the valve to close.

 

[WhiteStinger505]

So I just took off the hoses from the bov sounds amazing!! I didn’t put any covers or anything what would I need to use to cover and where ??? And is this safe or should I just get a bov???

 

[WhiteStinger505]

Safe. But you do need to cover the openings on the intake tubes where those hoses connect. If I remember correctly 1” chair leg caps work well.

Y
es if anyone knows please let us know cause I’m also wondering

There is a screen on them. It won’t get small particles but anything larger.
