If your BOV is standard then your fine. If its aftermarket then u will have to change it back to standard or swap to a plumback BOV to get cleared

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS WROTE BACK!!!!

By the sounds of it taking my car to East Perth was my first mistake.... Welshpool here I come next time.

So does anyone know if you can take off a blow off valve or make it silent for the sake of the pits, this is the only things i cant fix myself.....

Like I said thanks again!!!!

Jb

p.s. look forward to a cruise soon!

I've been told it is the standard one...... so what do I do? Do I need to get something in writing from Subaru?

bring ur car down to the cruise, there will be many experts on hand to tell you what's what

btw. welcome!

Sorry.... this is the first turbo car i have had.... what is a plumback blow off valve?

I would love to come to a cruise, where are they posted on this site?

it has a return into the intake..

The cruise details are posted on the site, yes. Right here.. http://www.perth-wrx.com/vb/showthread.php?t=3368

hahah the fat grumpy dude at east perth was the one who said my car was 130.5db. Now this could be correct but that would mean to me that most of the PWRX peoples cars are pushing about 160db

I got done by the fat grumpy man at O'Conner.

Bent steering arm meant the car was too dangerous to drive and the extension was only for a week (it was BARELY BARELY bent)
No covers under bonnet vents (like you) - I suggest you source from a wrecker.
Blow off valve too loud (suprise suprise blow off valve was d/ced!). Try doing that - it helps a lot, i.e. rip off the vacumn line from the blow off valve so it doesnt open.
Filter loose. Emissions can next to filter loose.
Suspension too stiff.
Front bumper loose (?!?!?!?!?)
Numerous other petty shit.

I am curious as to where some legislation says BOV has to be SILENT. Surely it has to simply comply with 90 db yeah? Cause I've heard cars with stock bov's that arent completely silent.

Gee, that's unbelievable! there are so any dodgy datsuns and crap crap crap pre 80's cars out on the road and a scooby gets done....i dont know, somethings not right in this world

go to midland, they arent too busy and they aint too bad there. though in saying that, the guys that do the inspections tend to swap centres from time to time. welcome and good luck with the car
