Whether you want to fully VTA or run a 50/50 adapter it will not change the way it operates/drives. There are no A/F ratio changes and there are no check engine/CEL lights that would come on because of the modification. We offer 2 options to give our customers the option of being able to adjust how loud they want the adapter to vent. The 50/50 adapter is also the only one that works on Euro Spec Ecoboost engines since they run a completely different setup than the ones we get here in the states.
Yeah, I keep feeling like I am missing something. Why would ford do what they did? If it is just sound and they think majority prefers it quite then why would people spend 100-260 when they can just disconnect the hose and cap the intake. I don’t get it. I keep seeing 70% if the answer.
great video here:
As far as we know there are no vehicle manufacturers that offer vent to atmosphere BOV options available directly from the showroom floor. The adaptors we offer have no moving parts and just mount with the stock BPV to convert it into a BOV that vents into the atmosphere It is a relatively very easy to install mod that is primarily there for the noise aspect. We have customers that had them installed on their Ecoboost vehicles for 8+ years with no issues. We cannot answer on why they do not offer an option like that.
Those are excellent questions that we are more than happy to answer. The adjustable BOVA side screws have a "stopper" so once they are gently snugged in their place they are secured and will not fall thru the other side. The BPV is mostly closed during regular driving and will only vent for a short period of time when you let off the throttle. We haven't had any issues or heard of anyone having any sealing issues.
Thanks for answering so quickly. That definitely makes me feel better about the adjustable model.
Any idea what the correct spec is for the included (lag screws?) hardware? I have lost one and need to visit the hardware store for a replacement. Thank you.
