Default BOV for 02 WRX

i had a look at a Greddy BOV today and needed an adapter for it so just thought id ask a quick question here since the shops are all closed up.

i heard a thing or 2 about Turbosmart BOV's bolting straight onto the factory TMIC. am i able to do this on my rex or will i need an adapter also?

thanks

I'm relatively sure Turbosmart do a BOV (namely the Turbosmart Vee Port 2) with the matching flange, which will incidentally bolt straight up.

I think GFB do one too.

Not sure about greddy, but please tell me you're going plumbback.. haha

Can confirm that GFB do one to, mine unfortunately was full atmo :P

I went back to the factory valve as it gave better fuel economy and performance.

Probay won't be a plumb back system due to the fact I have one stock so will more then likely go with the vee port or something

mARC - how much or a performance change is it? My Rex won't be hitting the track so will I notice the fuel economy and response?

I've not tracked my car either Stefan, but as far as performance goes I found the car to be a lot more responsive and smoother through the gears, also my hip pocket gained a few pounds as there was most definitely a noticeable decrease in fuel consumption.

stock bov = better fuel economy
aftermarket ricer = poorer fuel economy and unwanted notice by the po po

aftermarket bov's are also very gay, or close to comming out of the closet.
