i heard that putting a BOV on WRX will have diff in readings of e sensors as the air entering the throttle valve is diff?it seems it will affect the engine in the long run is it true?i intended to install but now have my doubts...pls enlighten.

Yes but will not affect the engine lah. Your FC will be bad cos the

maf sensor will give your ecu false readings when the air that is suppose

to recirculate is now vented out to the atmosphere. But its the price you

will have to pay to get the "phssshhh" sound. [:)]

Oh, you will also lose abit of power on the low end.

Not much diff on the high end. Also you will hear back firing

of your exos coz the rich unburnt fuel iginite in your exos.

The best is get the adjustable one...like Go Fast Bits Stealth BOV which can

adjust to recirculate of vent out. Im using one now and if i want the sound,

just twist the BOV. Then get sound and suffer FC but if not jus twist to full

recirculate like the OEM BOV. There are other BOV like the Stealth too but

price will be bout $450.

haha i think you are refering to the HKS BOV (SSQV) for the high pitch

sound. The low pitch are the common "pssshhhh" sound by most of the other

brands like blitz, turboXs, GFB,...etc.

the high pitch is truly awful. i'll be embarrassed to have it.

Individual preference bro. its really attention grabber. Only HKS has tat sound

so its also a brand thing. But i prefer the classic "pssshhhh". [thumbsup]
