OK ive been talking about this in a thread in the forced induction but it seems different states have different things that are legall etc... SO

Apart from the standered BOV can you legally change it to anything else? I was told Plumb back ones are legal that true?

Please clear this up for me, what is south australias stance on them...?

When I spoke to regency Vehicle standards they said you can't run an aftermarket bov regardless if its plumb back or not, he also said I couldn't modify the return pipe or modify the afm to turbo pipe.

BUT.. ring another day and I probably would have received a different response.

Looks like it.

For myself.. No bov, thin sheet metal plate blocking it off. All looks standard. 4" afm to turbo pipe.

Large afm to turbo pipe reduces the ever so slight drivability/stall issues you get with no bov.

You get better next gear boost response when not running a bov. :P

lol yes the bov manufactures tell you it hurts the turbo. lol

With the stock afm to turbo pipe the dose sound is fairly quietish but with a metal afm to turbo pipe it is quite a bit louder. :P

Have a read of.... Simon from Nispro.

whats all this bulls**t about no bov ruining your turbo lol??

that flutter noise is just air getting chopped up by the blades yeah?

cubes gives good advise, however it does cause stall/drivablity issues, so larger afm is a great idea. which i need to do soon myself!

    • I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.
    • Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.
    • Yeah that's what I meant, permanently connected not manual
    • Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.
    • There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
