BPV Set-up

Post by Mattheww044 »

OK, I KNOW you guys are gonna hate me, but I did search for the last hour or so and haven't really found exactly what Im needing. I am just about ready for my TMIC install, the only thing holding me back as of now is the BPV and lines.

I have the stock BPV from a WRX, but after searching, I realized you can't just put it on because it interferes with the CC/Throttle cables. I also realized that ALOT of people are either:
1. Running the "adapter plate" to our stock BPV over to the intake 90. or
2. Running some sort of after-market BOV.

So, I guess what I'm trying to figure out is, has anyone ran the stock Sti or WRX BPV, and how did they go about it? Where did you get the silicone hoses/reducer to the intake?

Hey. I removed the bpv "elbow" off my sti bpv and so it clears the throttle cable thing. I capped the other end on the intake side. So i'm 100% to atmosphere. Sounds good.

How does it run Florin? I might consider going atmosphere, but I don't really think risking my cars "health" is worth a cool sound. I think im just gonna get a SUPRA bpv or something like that

well I have my stock BPV on there, but its kinda ghetto-fabbed. It works and recirculates, but its just a huge pile of hoses and fittings lol. I have a stock Sti BPV I will try running catmosphere on that and see how that works.

Ya I will be ordering your TD04 as soon as the tax money gets here and then I will definately tackle the F-pipe and all that good stuff
