Re gapped to .030

FocusShift: Good to hear about the boost situation. All I hear is the flutter from the turbo. Can't really hear the BOV. You should post a video of yours......

Hm, on closer inspection that BOV sound you have is nothing like mine. That's why I didn't really pick up on it at first. I'll try to get a video this week... Tbh I don't know how to capture the sound on an automatic though

Just installed the AEM Tru Boost controller. Putting down about 7.88 lbs of boost. Loving the power. Can't wait to get it retuned. Just waiting for my HKS SSQV 3 BOV to get here.

sounds good, but why spend money on the SSQV?

I found a pretty good deal on the HKS bov and I wanted to try it out. I don't know the quality of the ZAGE bov, and supposedly the HKS bov helps out with performance.

However, unlike most people, I'm not really a fan of the high pitched noise the HKS bov makes.

there's no way a BOV can improve performance unless the BOV you're currently using is malfunctioning. but a good deal is a good deal, go for it! what will you have to do to modify to make it work?

Focus_Sh1ft · 12-05-2010, 03:09 PM

^ We both believe the Zage BOV isn't working correctly and is still allowing compressor surge to happen.

Hey Peter, where did you mount your meth tank?

so you don't think the bypass valve is opening fully on throttle-lift?

isn't the whole idea of a recirculating valve to help prevent compressor surge?

Unplug the line from the bov and hook it up to a boost gauge to make sure you are getting vacuum when you lift off.

you should have vacuum at idle, no need to hook up a boost gauge, just unhook it and stick your finger over it while the engine is idling. you should feel if you have vacuum. is the vacuum line hooked up to the correct side of the throttle body?

rob323 · 12-05-2010, 04:31 PM

If the vacuum line is hooked up to the wrong side of the throttle body, you will still have vacuum at idle though.

true, but not as much ;)

PETERPOOP · 12-05-2010, 07:07 PM

Tamago and rob323: Ok. Here is a picture of the Zage BOV. I was told it was a re-circulating BOV, but i'm pretty sure it's atmospheric.

I'm kinda confused about what you guys are saying about the vacuum line coming off the throttle body. I don't see any vacuum lines on the throttle body; i went to the intake manifold. This is how I have it hooked up...

So that's how I have it hooked up. Am I doing something wrong?

Focus_Shift: Mounted the AEM meth tank inside the car. It's towards the back infront of where the spare tire goes. The backseat isn't there, so it's mounted on a board that was put there to prevent things from sliding forward, where the back seat used to be.

damn nice man.. cant wait to see your car in full action

pimp my yaris · 12-06-2010, 09:11 PM

Looks like its hooked up right to me. My BOV vented very easily and I adjusted the spring tension to make it tighter. I have some compressor surge with normal driving. U may notice a problem with dying out if it vents easily. If you recirculate BOV gasses you wont have any problems though.

PETERPOOP · 12-08-2010, 12:13 AM

hks ssqv 3 blow off valve installed. hoping to tune it in the near future.

Just to let you know, if you paid $150 for it & it was new, its a fake. Its a counterfeit piece. Iv been a distributor of HKS, $150 is below wholesale. Im not flaming you or trying to insult you, Im just informing you of the fact. I have one of those on my car, so far, so good, so dont worry about it failing or anything. Here is info about it directly from HKS:
