WAY BAD

I've had a few PMs asking how I vented the BOV to atmosphere on my 2013. It's quite a bit different than the previous years. With the '13s having an electronic BOV instead of the in housing BOV. So I thought this might help a few of you that are wanting to do this. Pretty simple process actually. Figured I would do this before I get my Full Race Intercooler in with the Tial Q BOV.

Step1

Locate the vent tube connection (Gray in color) on the bottom of the driver's side turbo intake tube. Right behind the driver's side radiator fan. It's a twist off type connection. Twist it to the left, and pull. It will come right off.



Step 2

Lay on the ground on the driver's side, and pull the rubber protective flap down by pulling (4) of the white twist tabs. These are half turn tabs, so only turn them half of a round on pull down.



Step 3

Locate the vent tube connection (Gray in color) on the BOV (Blow Off Valve). This is the same connection that was up on the intake tube in step 1. Twist to the left and pull.



OPTIONAL:

If you want to run some type of fiter on the BOV itself, attatch it here. It will take a 1 1/16" size hose fitting to fit on the BOV. I didn't run a filter on mine.



Step 4

Cap off the intake inlet where the bypass was going to. Using a 1 1/16" hose cap of your choosing, and throw a tye rap or the like on the cap for good measure. There is no positive pressure (Boost) going to happen here. So it's just to keep dirt for entering into the intake, and to keep the computer from sensing unmetered air.



That's it, you now have an open BOV you can hear under the hood!

If there's anything I missed or over looked please let me know!

Happy Boosting!

So other than being able to hear it and maybe a little better throttle response what does this change give me?

Nothing at all. This has no performance benefit what so ever. It's just for the guys that want to hear the noises associated with turbo charged vehicles.

How does it sound?

thanks man once it gets a little warmer and quits snowing ill be doing this.

WAY BAD

Sounds alright. Not near as cool as good quality BOV. Going to try and shoot some video soon and put it up.

Good job with the mod I see its a tad different from my 12. I like how mine sounds but I found it was pain to get to the hose on the driver side not to mention I hate the clamps they use from the factory lol.

bump for vids!

bumb for vid and sound of '13

Just curious, when that air is vented to the atmosphere, instead of the intercooler piping, has that air already been metered by a mass airflow sensor? Or does the EFI use a map sensor for fueling? Reason I am asking, I know on some turbo 4 cyl engines I used to build, they had a MAF sensor, and that air had already been metered and fuel was adjustef for it(more fuel) and when the air was vented to atmosphere, there was a very rich air/fule ratio made in the combustion chamber, causing the engine to stall/sputter a bit.
