hey Countryman friends.......does anyone here recently order the Forge BOV?? If do, do you guys having problem for ordering?? Is it in back order?? I order mind from WMW, but they send me the wrong one.....and I been waiting for the correct part almost 2 months......what the hack.....is going on??

I don;t want to wait anymore and if anyone have a same problem, plz let me know.

thx

 

In the same exact boat. After I mentioned to WMW that they sent me the recirc instead of a blow-off valve, he indicated that for the CM, a pure blow-off valve would generate too many check engine lights. He said he could try to get one, and would swap me no charge. I let myself be convinced to stick with the Forge recirc valve. So far I haven't read of a fellow CM owner who has tried both.

 

so which one is the right one for the CM?? Is the part number 60A or 60R, I asked a member who install it he told me is 60A, but if the recirc valve the part number should be 60R........ar............so confusing!!

 

So, from what my little bit of research tells me; a BoV is a BoV, the real concern is where it dumps to (atmosphere or recirculation). From what I've read (and please correct me if I'm wrong) a BoV that dumps to atmosphere is a bad idea if you have a MAF sensor, since the ECU has already accounted for the air from the intake and removing that air to the atmosphere can cause the car to run rich. The only real benefit I can find about them is that you get a cooler turbo blow-off sound, with minimal actual gains over a recirc valve.

A recirc BoV does the same as a atmosphere BoV, except that that extra air is diverted back into the turbo's intake (meaning the air still remains accounted for). Doing so also has the added benefit (if done right) of pushing the air directly back at the compressor wheel, which can keep the turbo spinning in-between shifts.

 

Thank you for your info!!! So you have the 60A?? Is it the one without the hole on the unit, right?

 

The one without the holes and extra tube is the 60R (Recirculation) and the one with the holes is the 60A (Atmosphere). One other note I read somewhere, and I have no idea if this is true, indicated that an atmospheric blow-off valve would allow the turbo to stay spun up just as well as a recirculation valve. However a recirculation valve supposedly resulted in slightly higher average intake temperatures (and thus less power). So perhaps if you have a reprogrammed ECU that doesn't mind the "missing" air volume (if any tuners even know how to turn that off), maybe you gain a bit of power from an atmospheric dump valve. But apparently for all us with standard MINI ECUs, we perhaps have to stick with the recirculation valve. And we can always get lower temperatures with a better intercooler.

 

buz I have the 60R. The other member told me should get 60A, so it is confusing. I assume the 60R is the right one. Will the 60R come with the BOV sound, I have no idea (hopefully does).

I will install it Monday along with my other parts, so I will know. Praying for God no check engine light!!! ^_^

 

I am thinking of getting this from WayMotor (SKU# forgeBOV). What do you guys think?

 

Yes, go ahead to order from them. The forge BOV just make you smile

 

Did you get yours installed yet? Any sound/video clips?

 

Yes, I did install mine!! It sound great. It does sound like other BOV that high bit noise, so I havent take any video. Well, you still def. here it. The 60R will not sound like the 60A.

 

Hi
Is there a way to increase turbo sound without replacing the original bov?
Which bov do you offer for great sound?

 

Open air intake, like VIP or NM-Eng.
