The car is running a MAP sensor and runs 26-28psi and no BOV. I want to throw an atmo BOV on it but I honestly don't know if any leak boost more then others or are better then others.

I was thinking HKS Supersequential thingy as from memory I recall it uses boost to hold the thing closed...or perhaps a Trust Type R...but I honestly dont know if one is a better option then the other

Think he's talking about ones that leak on idle. this is what most do and if its not plumbed back can cause alot of the issues people have with atmospheric bov's

As far as i know all bov's use a vac line to the top to hold them closed under boost and then aids the spring when off throttle to open the valve and release the pressure.

As long as the bov will handle the pressure, any bov should do the job but why not just plumb it back and save yourself some trouble?

If its map based you wont have the problems that an afm system has. I just swapped over to a map based computer. My stock bov/recirculation valve is still atmo (will be plumbed back eventually to help gearshift lag) and there are no dramas at all. No more stalling, no more rich spots after gear changes and no more soot all over the back of my car.

Yeah i just assumed we were talking MAF setup lol

You can't run a HKS super squeeker as they are possibly the most gayest thing since Elton John!

Trust Type R are the goods, can't really go wrong :)

Hehe, I liked the sound of the HKS jobbie. Better then the sneezers out there :) Ran one for years :) Half the fun was so many people hated the sound of it. :whistling:

The thing with the Trust Type R ones is I have seen several on cars that have problems. Partly because like a gate they have diaphragms in them and they are sometimes worn and torn...but also they seem to have high spring pressure so dont open at low boost and seem to cause a bit of flutter

you aren't running low boost....and it's fluttering now so it's not like you aren't used to it.

    • I clean my wheels every time I wash the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash and a pressure washer, followed by (inset your chosen name brand) wash and wax, time per wheel is probably 2 minutes total, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, they're also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay ย 
    • An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.ย  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).
    • Is this not just about people wrecking, and storing, multiple cars in their front yard? I now a tow truck driver that was contracted by the council to clean up housing commission front and rear yards in houses and unit car parks I'm all for working on, and doing maintenance on your car in your garage or driveway, but some people definitely take the pissย  There's one house locally to me that I walk past regularly where the front yard and driveway looks like a wreckers, multiple cars in various stages of being stripped, and the yard looks like all of fluids are basically dumped on the ground I may be wrong, but it seems that the initial reports, which I've seen nothing actually official about yet, may be getting taken out of context, like alot of the latest "the sky is falling" stuff found on the youtubes for clicks
    • have they? Link appreciated. I live in Casey. I can see both sides of the argument in this case. There's a lot of sketchy stuff going on. There needs to be a clear definition of what this is supposed to be IMO. I wager the intent was to be a broad sweeping brush against people who have 4 cars up on blocks on their front lawn, not someone who services their own car behind their own gate on a weekend bothering probably nobody. But it'd be hard to legislate the difference there.
    • Oh, the wheels were already off. I wouldn't normally take them off to clean them although it does make it easier with the ceramic, so I might take them off when reapplying. I don't drive much but now with the ceramic coat, when I do drive and they get dirty I can get most off with the pressure washer. I'll be switching to dirtier pads soon which was the motivation for the ceramic as I usually just clean them and sometimes use Autoglym wheel protector. Nah, f**k the barrels! Haha, I'll give them a quick scrub when they're off the car and a pressure wash, but even I draw the line with the barrels. Yes, dark coloured wheels allow you to get away with a lot! ย
