Blow off valve

[JustanotherMS3]

I just purchased a 2011 MS3 and for my first mod I really want a blow off valve. And before anyone calles me stupid I just want to know what type and brand of blow off valve would be best for a stock MS3 to get that nice loud air realease sound.

[TRex]

on the ms3 blow off valve offers no performance enhancement so it is a ricer/sound mod only

also because the ms3 uses a maf system releasing metered air into atmosphere instead of through the bypass valve currently on the stock system causes fucked up fuel trims

YES you can run VTA (vent to atmosphere) but i would recommend a tune to run it properly...so i would actually recommend your first mod be a tuning solution and your second mod a blow off valve if you really want one

all of this information and more could/can be had by using the search button located in the banner

might i also recommend donating

i hope the rest of your day is bright and insightful

My mother taught me that if I have nothing nice to say, then I shouldn't say anything at all.

[redneckrecon]

I fuckin love Brownies!!!!! Whenever your having a bad day you always get to make theirs worse!

[ScarMS3]

yeah, search for bypass valve....not blow off valve.

[etchv10]

Just get an intake..... There's your sound...

don't be afraid...
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

[Ex_WRX_driver]

Lol. Thats all I can say.

[NCZ13]

I run without a valve. Talk about some loud crazy ass noises coming from your engine bay.

The ladies cream themselves when I drive by.

[fywdyl]

Just take off the recirc tube. There you go, blow off valve.

[Lex]

A Forge BPV is a common valve for this car.

As mentioned, I would get something that recirculates while still making a sound instead of venting to atmosphere since this is not a Honda running off a MAP sensor.

"FWD fail," she said, "as far as the spot where the boost ends."
She stretched out an arm from her robe, seeing Lenny's eyes go wide.
She heard a staccato typing of keyboards in the background. "I see a . . . VIP with the MS3 service manual," she intoned.


"He reads to Torque Steer, the event whom he defied and subjugated. He reads to mazdas247 and this is what he reads;

"Mine enemies are like turbo blades eaten down

That did stand in the path of the boost spikes.

Hast thou not seen what our Admin did?

He sent the post whores among them

That installed blow off valves without a tune.

They are like smoke wafting off parking lot ricer burnouts.

Their threads are like pellets of poison

That every mouth rejects."


A trembling passed through her. She dropped her arm.

Back to her from the inner cave's shadows came a
whispered response of many voices: "Their turbo bearings
have been overburned."

"The meth injection kit mount over thy engine," she said.
And she thought: Now, it goes in the proper channel.

"The meth injection kit refilled and capped," came the response.

She nodded. "Thine brownies shall donate," she said.

"Bi-lal kaifa," they answered.

This is the kind of shit thread that makes the Gen2 section what it is. All day long you see people making useless and redundant threads. I've seen more threads about "what bov is gonna make my car go PPPSSSSSHHHH", "what should I use to black out my lights so i can be dope and fresh and unique", and "how canz i makes car louderz" than I have seen useful, mechanical based threads. I'm just sick of seeing fellow Gen2 owners make themselves out to be fucking ricer bitch boys. That being said, Do not buy a BoV for a first mod, a second mod, or even a fourth mod. There are better things to spend your money on such as an SRI, an AP, or a TP.


I know this doesn't really follow the family friendly terms we're to be using now, but this kind of thing really grinds my gears.

[tragik]

it goes phhhhhhewww pshhhh phewwwwww pshhh

or something like that.

I like to make that noise out my window sometimes and then chuckle at myself cause i didn't spend the time/money to actually do it :p

but! it does sound pretty nice on wrxs.

You better do your research, son. Before you wreck your car.

Honestly, they made the new rules about bashing on noobs...I can understand the new member welcome. But THIS for example...I mean COME ON, SEARCH. I don't even like to ask. I just search and look to see what comes up. Then, after an hour or so if I just absolutely can not find what I'm looking for, I'll either make a thread about it, or PM one of the Veterans and ask them their opinion. PLEASE SEARCH FIRST!

That said...stock, bov/bpv really doesn't do much but make sound. Getting an intake/inlet pipe will make the stock bpv audible and its pretty loud. If you do go after market, make sure it's a BYPASS VALVE, such as Forge, Cobb to name a few.
If you decide on a BLOWOFF VALVE(vent to atmosphere) make sure it is DUAL PORT, such as turbosmart, which partially vents to atmosphere, and partially recirculates. You shouldn't run a full VTA though, unless you get the car tuned specifically to run that way.

In all seriousness...a SRI would give you 80% of the sound (and it's very noticeable) without the problems that are associated with a true BOV. I've sat in an MS3 with a Turbosmart BOV....not much different in aural stimulation compared to mine with a CS SRI, except his sounds more like a sharp whipcrack and mine isnt as loud or abrupt.

[adlpb]

I got a Cobb BPV only because I got a good deal on it, and I plan on going Big Turbo some day. Otherwise, you don't really need one.

[turbomzr]

bpv sounds annoying to me just saying

[tddvrrn]

you just saying the bpv sounds annoying is annoying to me. just saying.

BOV may sound like your mothers queef but its not good for the engine

That nigga may be brown but he aint the OP.

I mean seriously, what is with the 20 year old boy racer obsession with blow off valves?? I got tired of the noise a few days after I got my intake... honestly... that's all it is- noise.

[jack_hammer]

a week or two ago, you could expect a response something like this:

fuck you, you stupid fucking brownie piece of shit. gtfo of here with your faggot ass gay bov redundant already been answered ignorant no searching cum guzzler question. you are a piece of shit, your mother is a whore, and your father doesn't even know you exist. if he did, he would commit suicide in shame. and fucking donate.

but we can't put shit like that up anymore. so, instead i offer this response:

you should not run bov. and i love you.

they are all the fucking same

this guy had to have been a troll... with our new influx of genpoo ricers they all look like trolls though

[reckywind]

hhmm... dont get a BOV... I would highly recommend doing more research via the various threads on here man. im a newbie too but i have more than enough sense to know that a BOV isn't good for the speed 3... besiides, like someone said, once you get an intake (i got the COBB SF and TIH) you get the sounds you want and some more powaaahhhh!.. that said good luck on modding and hey reading up on dieffrent mods and how they affect your car never hurt anyone

[bigx5murf]

I don't have an ms3, but I have a blow-through maf on my msm, so I've tried running VTA for a short time. That got old fast! PSSSSSHHHHHHHHHH! just cruising and letting off at like 3k. Was fun for about a day, before it got way too annoying, and I longed for recirc.

[Pu Manchu]

I thought it was pretty obvious.

[InFeXIoN]

I used to have an 04 vr gt msm before this car... a had a forge dualport like valve ran it in 50/50 because its a maf system as well but that car dislikes full vta as it idles like shit almost wanting to die..

Idling like shit has nothing to do with VTA. Hate to break it to you

[InFeXIoN]

Umm I hate to break it to you but.... the car ran like a champ never any probs in 50 50 or full circ..... as soon as you go full vta on that car no matter how you tune the bov.... they don't like to close which causes it to stumble into almost dieing. I know those cars very well and if you jump on over to the msm only forum just like here and do a little bit of reading with the search function you'll find that everything just said, is 100% correct.
