Replaced the ESS tuning recirculating valve with Vortechs Race BOV

m3boost · 10-07-2017, 09:22 PM

Just thought some of you would like to see what its like when swapping the recirculating valve on any ESS kit with a vent to atmosphere valve BOV.

10 Min Review with driving

If you dont have 10 mins heres a 10 second clip of just the BOV sound

Personally I love it and think the kit should have came with this!

Install video is here, note that this is for a TIAL bov. I am using a different one now which info can be found in the video description.

Not bad at all, If you are constantly revving the car out it might get a little annoying but DD Duty its no issues whatsoever

Is there any adjustment needed for the surge? Or is this normal?

I also got that sound on the recirculating version. Just wanna make sure.

I was wondering the same after watching your revving video. That sounds like flutter/surge on the compressor.

Happens on the stock valve supplied by ESS Tuning also.

I backed off the spring all the way when checking the tension.

That’s amazing. The amazon link one is simply plug and play for an ESS VT2-625?

No you have to block off the recirculating port first.

h4nh · 10-19-2017, 01:36 AM

Thanks for the review. I think the sound would be too annoying for me. lol

Patrón · 10-19-2017, 08:47 AM

that fluttering sound does not sound normal, the few cars i've heard in person do not sound like that, mine did when I did not have the vacuum line connected correctly to the bypass valve.
