Heya mate,

I just recently bought a turbo smart BOV 2 a aswell and i installed it last night. I asked the same question as you a week ago!

Go to forced induction and search for "door stopper" in the forum and everything you need to know should b there!

Ask me questions threw that forum.

Good Luck :P

Well the answer to your question is pretty much there dude. You have a PLUMBED BACK BOV and now you've installed an ATMOSPHERIC BOV, which of the 2 do you want? One just recirculates the air back thru the system while your new vents it out. Either have one or the other. No damage can be done to the car having both, but it just defeats the purpose of having an atmo bov on there now.

Like what was said a few posts up, if you can't get your hands on a block off plate for your stock bov, get a coke can, use the gasket off the stock bov trace around the can and cut it. Use that as a block plate and whack your stock bov back over it.

    • Being this happened about 4 years ago, i honestly forget exactly what is was, but I wound bringing to Simon at SR Werks when he was here in NY. He was able to properly diagnose and repair. I believe it had to do with the harness behind my dash. 
    • It's because the air comes in over #3 & #4. The two "dead" ends of the plenum are at #6 & #1, with #6 being a little more "compromised" (Sorry about all the quote marks) than #1, due to the shape. So you get the dead end effect at #6 & #1 where dynamic pressure converts to static pressure, likely causing the air flow to be highest for these. The others are then just working in from the ends to the centre. 6 -> 1 is only valid for FFPs.
    • Cut back on the attitude champ, no one is obligated to help you. The chances of Forester owners on here are quite low, considering this forum is called Skylines Australia. https://www.subarupartsdeal.com/parts/subaru-under-cover-front~56410sa000.html ^ that picture looks wrong, because if you see the diagram, 56410SA070 looks correct. You can always check where the mounting holes are on your car, and compare them to the pictures.
    • Hey Duncan, I've always set them up from 6 -> 1. Due to slightly higher EGT's, I also add a small amount of fuel to cylinder 6 & 5. I understand why you start at 6 but curious as to why you then continue somewhat based on firing order? Thanks
    • United E85 is always 85% ethanol. At least it claims to be. But that goes out of the window about thirty seconds after you put a tank of it into your car and can't do the math to determine if you have 76% ethanol, or 47% ethanol or 26% ethanol because you put 33L in, then 16L in, then a full tank of 98, then "Some" E85. Ethanol tunes that aren't full flex or full E85 all the time are just absolutely a waste of time. Don't be stupid and ruin your car.
