RE: BOV
me too. just got the car today.

RE: BOV
so the system has no BOV? does it have metal piping between the intercooler and the throttle body? if not, thats the first step.

RE: BOV
On a turbo9-3 you can only have a BOV if you have a T5(T stands for trionic)car(red DI cassette from the factory anda MAPsensor). If you have a T7 car (black DI cassette from the factory and a MAF sensor) you can only get an upgraded DV (Diverter valve) and can not vent to the atmosphere. On a T% car you would just disconnect the hose from the DV going back into the intake, plug the hole in the airbox and replace the DB with a BOV. T7 cars can not have that.

RE: BOV
on a 2001 9-3 it will put the car in limp mode, like stated by roto if you put on the bov to a t7. I also have a 2001 9-3 and learned on my own expierence about this, the only thing you would notice first is the check engine light will come on but the car will run normal in good temp. but when its colder out or really hot the car will idle bad and possible through it into the limp mode and that really sucks...so the best things you can do for sound from under the hood is an open cone filter system, you can buy the forge or other brands bpv (but really is a lot of money and not neccassary until you are really starting to get power out of your car) and also take the heat/sound insulation off from the hood....good luck

RE: BOV
I just ordered a Forge BOV myself:-D Gotta love having T5
|
RE: BOV
What about a 2003 9-3?
|
RE: BOV
No go there. Sorry, the best you can do is a DV
|
RE: BOV
Can I get a performance DV to give the WOOOSH and not throw a code? what can i do?
|
RE: BOV
The whoosh sound is from the valve dumping to the atmosphere. No, you can't have the sound on a T7 car unless it's coming from your intake and than it's not really that noticable.

RE: BOV
Thats not true at all, run a 2.5" or 3" intake pipe down the side of the fender with the largest filter you can fit, then remove the sound insulator from the hood, you can also add the GS Forge BPV I had it but something was wrong with it so its being replaced...but it adds a nice tone as well. But its no were as loud as some of them you hear but it does have a good sound...and when it comes to BOV when they have the louder whiste sound it is caused from a restriction they cause to produce that sound but it is a restriction (nothing noticable in most cases) but on highly moded cars can cause problems, they point is for it to realese the air as fast as possible.
But thats just my insight on it. |
RE: BOV
well what I Meant really was that it's nowhere near the sound of a BOV. The sound from the BPV is heard from the intake, correct me if I'm wrong on that, so to really hear it he would need some sort of a modified intake?
|
RE: BOV
yes exactly, but in most cases added the intake will be cheaper more effiecent and actually have a power gain (minimal but its there)

RE: BOV
You may want to give Nick at Genuine Saab a call, he has been testing one of these on different Saabs:
