Default 2013 Bov Mod

So i understand it has only one valve for 2013. My question is have any of you tried the universal UNI motorcycle filter cause they have sizes 1"x3" 1 1/4"x3" and 1 1/2"x 3" and was wondering which would best fit the BOV. Next what type of cap and size have you guys used to cap off the intake inlet. Lastly has anyone felt negative effects of this? Running rich lean? Power Loss? Slower Turbo spool up? Do you recommend or not to do this??

Did it for a minute and that was enough. Just reach over the radiator and give the fitting a twist to release just the top fitting then go give it a blast. Takes less than 30 seconds. Go try it and report back.

Too ricey for me.

Actually removing the recirculation feature of the e-bov has been recommended by many to "remove" moisture condensation in the intercooler which has been deemed by Ford to be the cause of the "shudder."

So venting to atmosphere actually serves alternate purpose in this application.

1. ricer
(Ricer: from the latin word Ricarius meaning to suck at everything you attempt)

A person who makes unecessary modifications to their most often import car (hence the term "rice") to make it (mostly make it look) faster. The most common modifications are (but not limited to):

- Huge exhaust that serves no purpose but to make the car louder
- Large spoiler on the back that looks like something Boeing made for the 747
- Lots of after-market company stickers they don't have parts from, but must be cool
- Expensive rims that usually cost more than the car itself
- Bodykit to make the car appear lower, usually accented with chicken wire
- Clear tail lights and corner signals
- A "performace intake"- a tube that feeds cold air to their engine usually located in areas of excessive heat (behind or on top of the engine)
- Most of these riced cars (a.k.a. rice rockets or rice burners) are imports; Honda Civics, Accords, Integras, CRXs, RSXs, Del Sols Mitsubishi Eclipses, Lancers, Subaru Imprezas, however there are some domestics such as Chevrolet Caviliers, Dodge Neons, Ford Focus; small, slow, economy cars designed specifically to go slow. Please note that some Supras, Skylines, WRX's and other higher performance imports are designed to go fast, and are therfore not always considered rice. It really depends on the severity of the case.

The "ricer" attempts to make their car "performance" by adding the modifications listed above. These ricers are not confined to any one ethnic group or color, however different ethnic groups are known for certain styles.
Honda Civics with big spoilers and 4" exhaust tips are considered to be ricers.

adj: ricey, to be of the ricer kind.
