Re: Tech Article: 1g BOV mods

Good writeup. Not sure why this would be useful since you have to manually turn it on and all. So...


What would be awesome would be to tap it into the rpm signal. So once you hit a certain rpm, it automatically turns on. You could probably do this using a shift light where you can set the shift point. Then when you hit a certain rpm, instead of the light going on, it turns on the valve. Yeah it would be on it everyday driving, but why not? Better to have a better hold then a weaker one IMO.

Nice pics too. About time people learned about macro mode and how to have a steady hand/tripod. Dustin +1!

EDIT: And after thinking about it, wouldn't it be better for shorter vac lines for all of this and keeping the valve as close to the BOV as possible? Will allow for quicker response time and less chance of holes in lines.
