I've done my research and I'm still confused.

I'm looking at getting a BOV and I still havent been able to choose which one is right for me. I'm looking at either the Greddy or the Mopar. I hear good and bad things about the Mopar but noone ever says why it's bad. It seems like it should do the job, I dont understand why people say it's just a noise maker. It vents into the atmosphere, right? I'm just curious if I should be looking at the Moapr BOV or not. Corect me if any of my info is wrong and if you think the Moapr really is crap....please explain to me why.

Thanks.

Mine is fine. I have no problems with it. It does, however, blow off ALOT compared to the others or so i've heard....

little tricky to put in, blows off everytime you let off the gas, i mean EVERYTIME.
never had trouble

^^^What he said. The Mopar releases pressure everytime you let off the gas whereas other BOV's only do it when you let off the gas under boost. IMO the Mopar BOV would get really annoying after a few days.

No problem here..........

If you want to do a different vacuum setup, you can prevent the Mopar bov from venting under vacuum.

I run my MBC, and my fuel regulator off of the blue line. The only solenoid I use is the middle one that controls the bov. I have the green line hooked to it.

My bov will not go off unless it's under boost or I give it half throttle or more. If you are just cruising around casually, it keeps quiet.

no pboblems here, IMO, i think it's pretty damn loud compared to ones i've heard.

The mopar is not a real bov, its only a sound maker. If you only want to make sound then get one.

 

[Grifter]

Thanks for the comments. Would you recommend me getting one or saving the money and getting another BOV.

The mopar is not a real bov, its only a sound maker. If you only want to make sound then get one.

But Why? Why is it only a noise maker? I know it's just a "spacer" but doesnt it do the same thing any other BOV does?

 

[Exhaust Depot]

No, ohter bov have a big hole in it which let larger amounts of air out to make up for the larger amount of air your pumping when you raise your boost.

The mopar vents whe you go in reverse entering a parking spot. Valve should never vent when in the vacuum range. Its even worst when you have s0 with MP valve. Vents longer.


If you search the forums, you will notice alot of guys who have taken them off because they got tired of it venting all the time etc. I think here in FL they had an UNinstall day.

I like the way mine sounds. When I bought it, I couldn't justify paying $200+ for a different one.

Now that I am considering a turbo upgrade I'll have to buy a different one anyway. Might be something to think about if you plan on any big upgrades in the future.

Thanks for the info Exhaust Depot. You sell a hard pipe with a Type S dont you? I was looking at your page but I couldnt find the price.

i think the stock "bov" + mopar venting plate= a BOV, look at it this way, if u join the 2 it becomes a real bov.

 

[Riz]

how loud is it? ... i can't find any samples :crying:
yes i did a search.. all the links were down

 

[SRT-4aKid's Brother]

Too loud.

 

[danifilth]

I got the AGP and I couldnt imagine it being much different.Its only $40.It does vent quite a bit but not everytime I left off the gas.

 

[Ultimateone]

Yah it sucks!

hehe.
Honestly if your gonna run alot of boost and dont want leaks and alot of noise when not in boost...dont get the Mopar. Having a real BOV that doesnt go off until your in boost is alot better.

the way I look at it is this- if you plan on doing mopar stage upgrades, the mopar bov is fine (and is in fact designed to work with it). If you are going a different route (like perhaps an AGP WGA), things will work best with a non plate style bov (I don't buy this Mopar BOV not being a real BOV garbage). Also keep in mind- the mopar BOV works in the exact same fashion as the stock diverter valve, if the engineers designing it thought that the bypass shouldn't open in a vacuum state, they would have put a stronger spring in it (and after all, aren't they the most concerned with warrantied cars?)

 

[slcsilversrt-4]

I have a quarter behind my mopar Blow Off Valve Spring this helps for the annoyingness of the pf pf pfff pfff pf pf if you know what i mean

 

[Grifter]

I just ordered the AGP WGA...
