boost creep - Page 4

BatMobile07 · 07-18-2008, 02:08 PM

naw i just got the ap. but hey i have a question with the ap for whoever has it. one of the performance options on it say dynamic test. and i was wondering how that works cuz it says i can find my whp and stuff like that but i tried it and i cant seem to figure it out. so if anyone has a trick that i should know. that would be great.

BatMobile07 · 07-18-2008, 02:17 PM

also i forgot i have another question. i know that your not supose to put a blow off valve on an sti without tune cuz it makes it run rich or something. but now that i have an AP is it ok for me to run with a aftermarket BOV with stock TMIC?

nhat · 07-18-2008, 02:33 PM

it's always ok but it's not recommended. the only reason to use a bov is for the sound, which it sounds like is all you want. if you want to use an aftermarket bov, read up on speed density and blow-thru maf tubes.

if you want the bov sound, the best way to do so without affecting performance is to install an aftermarket intake. not only will you hear the factory bpv, but you also gain hp.

BatMobile07 · 07-18-2008, 02:38 PM

yea i already have an spt intake. and i have the stock BPV and its noticable sound wise. but i was just looking for something a little bit louder. so is there a aftermarket BPV that would be better and not effect performance?

nhat · 07-18-2008, 02:51 PM

yeah there are many aftermarket bpv's and adjustable valves that'll give you the sound you want without the rich moments between shifts

BatMobile07 · 07-18-2008, 02:57 PM

alright cool thanks man. do you have any recommendations to which one sounds nice haha.

If more noise is what you want. Then screw the bov. Just get an ewg and call it done

The speed density stuff is some crazy reading.

BatMobile07 · 07-18-2008, 03:12 PM

haha yea. the EWG is crazy. but were i live the cops are d bags but i was looking for more of the Blow off sound. but i wasnt gonna get an aftermarket BOV if it was going to effect the performance of my car and make it run rich.

nhat · 07-18-2008, 03:29 PM

um i don't have any recommendations. i know lots of people like the aps dual event, turboxs hybrid, forge recirc, and turbosmart. lots of vta bov's have kits to make them recirc as well.

just please don't buy a hks ssqv!

BatMobile07 · 07-18-2008, 03:32 PM

haha alright thanks man. so i should be good with any of those and not have a performance problem or running rich. sorry if im bugging i just want to make sure before i do go out and buy one and then have a problem.

I don't have any recommendations to make as to which one to buy but I would say don't unless you just can't live without the sound. My guess is, the more reading you do you will find something you'd much rather put that money toward

BatMobile07 · 07-18-2008, 04:01 PM

yea i think you have a point there. haha. cuz its already pretty loud.

BatMobile07 · 07-18-2008, 04:18 PM

but i did have a question about the ap and the dyno test it offers. and if you have any pointers on how to do that. im just wondering cuz i thought it would be cool just for funnies to find out my whp and stuff.

Icculus · 07-18-2008, 04:24 PM

Honestly I've never tried it on mine. My guess is you have to find a long flat stretch of road (something I don't really have where I live) with little traffic where you can do a 4th gear pull.

BatMobile07 · 07-18-2008, 04:46 PM

yea true. good point ill give it a shot man. and let ya know if it works
