Im going to upgrade the DV the kit comes with to either a metal forge DV or look into getting a BOV. Is there any pro/cons of running one or the other?

These are the ones im looking at:

Forge BOV http://www.ecstuning.com/Volkswagen-...BOV/ES1832068/

Forge splitter DV/BOV http://www.ecstuning.com/Volkswagen-...ke/BOV/ES8288/

Forge DV http://www.ecstuning.com/Volkswagen-...lve/ES1832054/

 

I think Im going to go with the BOV to get rid of that huge hose.

 

What would I need to do to switch it to a BOV, and whats a DV?

 

BOV= Blow Off Valve
DV=Divertor Valve

Both serve the same function, but a divertor valve recirculates the released air back into the intake. The benefit of a DV on MAF (mass air flow) equipped car is to keep the AFR and idle stable since its metered air going into the engine. On a Fit I don't think it matters since its a non-MAF car and a BOV will work just fine and with less plumbing. And a BOV will make a loud woosh sound than a DV since air is released to open atmosphere.

 

the bov kits for the vw 1.8t engine works for the kwsc because it includes everything block off plug and all.

 

You don't care about getting rid of the big hose hose, as much as you do the fast and furious sound of the BOV.... I am wondering if you are thinking of an adjustable BOV that can possibly increase your boost...

 

i see.. that's the use of those valves.. thanks for the info..

 

The BOV and DV are used to limit pressure but on turbos an adjustable BOV allows you to optimize power as well.... I don't know if one can be utilized to do that though on the Rotrex super charger used by KraftWerks.... Someone is sure to figure out how to if it hasn't been already.

 

the forge bov is only a wooosh noise nothing ricey.

 

I was just kidding you, I know where your head is when it comes to your performance mods.

 

waste gate controls boost not bov. bov used to be called a popoff valve by some will keep you from damaging your butterfly in tb from pressure when throttles closed. a bov diverts the pressure into the atmosphere where as a dv puts it back into circlulation but undo hose and the dv becomes a bov lol.

 

I thought about that later in the evening after posting it and felt pretty goofy.... Now that someone finally noticed my goof I feel even worse...LOL.

 

there is no wastegate on the kw s/c only a dv

 

He was correcting Texas about what he said regarding BOV's on turbos.

Reviving a long dead thread:

Dewthedew, did you ever get that Forge BOV?
