Ive been reading all night about blow off valves and bypass valves. All i seem to read about is bad things (besides the sounds it makes) about blow off valves. Things like you run rich, lose power and crap like that. I wanted to know if this is the same way for 3SGTE ( i would assume so) Also does running rich every time you shift gear waste a noticeable amount of gas?
Also say i don't get a BOV. The BPV is designed to recirc the air back to the intake box. If i get an Apex'i intake filter to replace my box, Is there any way i can recirc the air back to the intake system? (btw I'm just getting the filter. The rubber intake piping will stay. I noticed the BPV is bolted onto the box so i see no way of getting it recirc'd to the intake system unless the piping was metal and a flange was welded onto it for the BPV to bolt onto.

Alright i know i got my answer for the topic and all that stuff. But i guess i'll change the title and hopefully get someone with knowledge to what i wanna do and see if it's bad or not.
Soooo i wanna vent my stock BPV and see what it sounds like. Is there any drawbacks with doing this or no? I heard that i just unplug the BPV where it meets the intake box and plug the hole where the BPV used to be. Is this the right way? If not what is? (if anyone has done it before) And i already know about the car not running rich with a BOV since we have MAP sensors so im guessing if i do this it would be the samE? |
