i dont really matter bro, lol Why u get a auto one.... lol

Mate it depends what time of BOV u put on. i recently slaped on a Apexi dule champer BOV it make a "flutter" at low reves and a "woosh" at high revs. it sounds mad. But wit an auto, u'll hear the sould when it changes gears automaticly. it should still sound good. have u heard some of the auto VL turbo.. sounds mean.. but they have a dose pipe :)

take it eazy boss

^^^^ Wow that post really sums it up. Installing an after market blow off valve into a car which already has a perfectly good factory one will lose you about 800 IQ points instantly.

Furthermore you will not hear any sound on gear change (in an auto) unless you're lifting off the accelerator at the exact same time the gearbox changes irrespective of what blow off valve you have.

I got a blitz, same thing nice flutter in low revs, and fair loud pssch when opened up. Changed to a bigger turbo (kicks at 4000 instead of 2800) lost that noise now. :)

I bought my car with it on, probaly wouldn't have bothered otherwise, I like the sound of just cooler but if you like it buy. Personaly I wouldn't bother with a auto especially if it's standard.

My factory BOV was leakin.. that why it was changed to a better flowing BOV, i donno about ur V-spec bro,, but yea. the release of air that come out of the BOV is only when u take ur foot of the throttle, sorry for the misunderstanding...

Hmmm, I dunno. the stock BOV in the car only ever sounds when i take my foot of the gas, i cant hear it at all when it changes gear. so if i changed it, wouldnt i only be hearing it when the foot of flooring it?

Yeah, i bought the tiptronic auto becuasse i didnt really wanna spend another 10 grand for the manual...

Im already thinking about changing to a r33 GTR instead.

      I'm late to the party on this one but good to see common sense has prevailed and the turbo kit is coming.

      I had a look at the FAB9 EFR kit, around $8500 AU before delivery, so add in shipping, installation, consumables and tuning, I believe the price difference would be negligible  And whilst I am paying top dollar at MX5 Mania, if I have any issues with the kit they are local for support,  and from my experience, will happily go out of their way to help, hell, I've purchased parts from them and asked "how do I install or remove parts" and they have fitted a few of them for free, this means more to me than saving a few thousand dollars And yes, 99% of the time I just plod around in the car, that may change once I start hearing turbo whooshy noises, but, as I have 3 family members is the constabulary, even when I'm up it, it is only up to the speed limit, or occasionally, but rarely, overtaking on the Hwy (I just plod in the left lane typically and enjoy the drive) Plus the kids would never let it go if I got booked speeding, Jackie is constantly getting critiqued by the kids about her driving, which I think is hilarious, and tell them that she is "bringing shame to our family", so heaven forbid if I ever got done speeding, after all my mouthing off about her driving, I would never live it down, and it would be another thing she would bring up any chance she got Like the time I got drunk about 15 years ago and fell out of a cab, which gets brought up at least a few times every year since it happened Good times

      True, might get it looked at. Found out you can in fact flatten the 12v battery relatively easily too the other day (kids lefts the hazards on) so meaning to get that checked in the new year. What's odd is it'll blow cold from both vents if you have the ac down as low as poss (18), but anything else the passenger one blows warmish. Also has been summer since I got it obvs but noticed it didn't seem to want to blow hot last night when we had a cold snap.
