IWSTI Addict since: Feb 2010 |  ECU after BOV installed? Hey guys I'm currently new to the forum and I have been researching this question for awhile. I'm currently buying a sti today and I want to install a BOV in the car in the future. Now I have been getting mixed answers on this. I know the sti runs on the electronic controlled ignition system. Now I have been told I had to get the ecu flashed for the BOV so it won't stall out. Is that really true? Thanks for an answers I can get on this. |

IWSTI Addict since: Jan 2008 | Re: ECU after BOV installed? Yes, u need a tune with an aftermarket bypass/blow-off valve. There are probably over 50 threads on this forum asking the same question. Use the *!SEARCH!* feature next time. Last edited by SAx COLIN STi; 02-08-2010 at 10:17 AM.. |

You dont need a tune for an Aftermarket BPV - As long as your running the right spring in there. | |

IWSTI Addict since: Dec 2009 | Re: ECU after BOV installed? I bought a 50/50 BOV and I didn't need to re-flash. The car idles just as it did with the stock BPV on her. I bought the Agency Power 50/50 BOV, some people don't like Agency Power but so far I think it was totally worth the cash. |

| Spec C Club Feedback Score: 1 reviews | Re: ECU after BOV installed? To tune a BOV... you would need to invest about 1500... Ap 600 + tune using speed density if you find a tuner Another 500. Stand alone Ecu 1600 onwards. To run a BOV with out any negative effects you need speed density. Search that term and you will understand. |
