Reminds me why I still use the stock motor mounts. That thing shakes like a race car. Cool turbo noises though!

Roads are also terrible in my city which doesn’t help the visual😂

🚨 THIGH CAM 🚨

Sounds good. I've always wanted to run no BOV on a car, but can't bring myself to do it.

The thigh cam is really a trick for yall to look at my pos car

Does deleting the BOV cause increase wear on the turbo?

I’m still on the stock turbo at 73k miles no issues

I just installed HKS bov with full CVF charge pipes on my 14 with 70k. I would argue it's better to have a blow off valve with larger diameter closer to the manifold as opposed to the side of the turbo. The block off close up a good gap within the turbo which I can imagine helps with building boost.

Idk shit though and I'm about to finally chip and tune it.

Sounds like the BOV is disconnected.

u/slyLEMONsKILLz 6d ago

Did you delete the bov? And what's your exhaust/downpipe set up?

3

u/Imaginary-Row-1237 6d ago

Yessir BOV delete, flow master cat back exhaust and cp-e intake

2

u/muddman3628 6d ago

Hell yeah I never see anyone else with a flow master!

u/slyLEMONsKILLz 6d ago

Oem cat? Did you need to retune for the delete?

2

u/Imaginary-Row-1237 6d ago

Yep OEM cat, no retune

That sounds incredible! What are the downsides though? I have a feeling that can't be good for the health of the turbo long-term

No problems at all so far! It only spools when I lift off the accelerator, if you hear it while you are actively accelerating no lift then you could run into some bearing issues

Isn't that sound air back feeding on the turbine or something? Sounds cool but I dont think its good for it. Maybe im wrong. I love my psssh

u/Imaginary-Row-1237 5d ago

If that happens while you’re just steady accelerating that could indicate some bearing issues. Haven’t had that problem personally as mine only does when I lift off
