So I removed the hose to the intake pipe to make the BOV full vent to atmosphere. The car idles better to me and sounds a lot better. I didn't notice any lag between shifts nor did my car stall when coming to a stop IMO it idles much better than before. Just sharing incase someone wants to give it a try.

Heres a pic:

 

Post a sound/video clip Id like to hear it. Cant comment on this because I dont have that TT kit.

 

so you finally did it huh, ive had it like that for over a year with no sputtering or hesitation between shifts. works fine, ive also had 2 other bovs with no recirc, the greddy rs and the turbo rfl. sounds better like that.

 

When I had my kit, that's what I did, and never looked back. Sounds better!

 

I tried it but it was too loud for Cali. If it wasnt for this gay **** state I would have left it. It sounds tight.

 

Does the actual blow off sound the same in this configuration? Or is it much more amplified fluttering?

 

Mine never fluttered, just a big long whooosh sound.

 

-that actually improved idle quality? well I guess Im going to leave mine off as well thanks for this tip.
-the BOV sound has changed to a soild sound instead of the fluter before??
thank must sound better?
could you pls get some clips of this action?

 

does anyone know why APS had it set up like that??

 

They were shooting for CARB exemption....which never happened. Atmospheric dumps are not CARB legal. But yes, the APS TT sounds immensly better with the open BOV venting. And since the BOV is located prior to the MAF sensor, you shouldnt have issues with stalling.

 

Did your car stall when coming to a stop before?

 

This sounds intresting now I'll have to try it myself and see how it sounds.

 

Yea I'll get a couple of sound clips soon on video and share them. Alberto, aftering hearing you current setup with the turboXS RFL I want that with my build! Can you get me some more clips of the sound ?? I love loud noises...

Thanks tig for the help, I plan on changing it to the turboXS RFL like your setup eventually.

Loud WOOSHHH when I get into boost 9psi, half boost or only building like 1 pound its more like choo choo chooo...

Nope, never but I've heard of ppl SAYING it might stall if I did this, just wanted to confirm I haven't stalled and idle is solid.

 

why would you title the thread has anyone tried it, when you already got advice from people who tried it? seems like you already had your answer

 

homo.

 

^hahahahahaha, lmao!

 

Can you do this with the HKS SSQV? I need to check how mine is set up but my car's kinda gone right now lol.

 

next time i speak to your mother.. i will be sure to tell her you called me a homo

 

You have the HKS? take some videos I want to hear how that sounds on the APS setup.

 

Could this mess with any A/F ratios, or anything to do with the actual operation. My car is running fine and I don't want to change anything but if it sounds better than hell ya. I just don't want to change any of the functional side.
