TMIC bpv ?'s

Post by Mt.HOODrat »

so i feel bad for my car ingesting super hot air, so im doing a 06 tmic. So what all do i have to do to the bpv and all the hoses and whatnot to run one? boost controller, etc? im still kinda new to the turbo game, so if someone has a thread or diagrams that can help me read up on this stuff let me know, i need a little rundown on all the turbo parts and system. i tried to search it, but i guess i just suck at it.

Is your car currently a turbo legacy? What turbo are you running or plan to run? If you don't plan to upgrade the turbo, I wouldn't even bother with an intercooler right now. Fitting the intercooler with the vf11 is less fun than the non-"clocked" outlets.

I'd suggest reading over the TMIC sticky in this thread. It's at the top of the forum.

Regarding the BPV, most people use a fitting to run from the TMIC to the valve and then back into the intake track. Fitting any intercooler in these cars requires a bit of customization with all the hoses and such.

You can use the stock boost control solenoid. If you want a MBC, you can run that and just leave the boost control solenoid hooked up so it doesn't throw a code. You'll be ok, up until around 12-13 psi since that is where fuel cut is.

Not sure if I answered all your questions or not. I'd suggest reading the TMIC sticky in this forum, and if you have more questions, feel free to ask.

where did you pick up the hoses for that? Is that radiator hose?

I don't run a BPV on my rally car. Just have a blockoff plate. For a tiny turbo like the TD-04 it should be alright. No ill effects so far!

Not running anything on my car... FMIC and a TD05. Makes some sick sounds! Flutter is crazy. For a journal bearing turbo under 15psi there is not an issue. But it's not the best solution, just temporary.

What I would do is go on eBay, and get a adapter for the 02-07 flange from the seller "Wyntonm". Then run a hose off that into the BPV, then back into the intake.
