woohoo another e-fight :P

My standard bov is in my glove box lol

anyhoo there were Qs

The law is atmo venting bov (the bis ptsscchh! noise ones) are illegal... something about venting bad air blah blah etc. Plumback ones are fine, these ones go pttsssccchh still, but vent the air (and most of the noise) back into the air intake.

Now i dunno how youd go, but you could just get something to cover the bov hole in the intake. pull over before they check it. take off your bov, cover the hole, drive carefully with the flutterz :P and when your passed and good to go, drive out, put bov back on, drive home and park it in the shed and leave it there till you get a plumback :)

it took me a while to find one for my car, and if its a NEED TO NOW kinda thing my suggestion could work. just take it really easy with no bov.

or, i guess those stealth BOVs might be what your after; basically you can switch between the "flutter" and a 'stock' plumback setup. Not sure if those are legal or not?

      Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.

      Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true

      Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
