jbrumley1 Posted yesterday at 09:33 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 09:33 PM Just ordered a Turbosmart 1.5/twin scroll 2.7 Kompact EM BOV VR2 50/50 to replace the stock BPV. Anyone have a 50/50 BOV you can comment on, so far as where you noticed a difference other than the 'PSSSH' sound factor? Maybe less lag on initial acceleration, better throttle response between shifts, smoother power over the power band? I'd much appreciate your comments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldandintheway Posted yesterday at 10:30 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 10:30 PM Ugh, this is the curse of the "car guy" mentality, of which I suffer greatly, I modify all my cars because I can. No performance gains other than noise. Which is ok as long as your expectations are in line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrumley1 Posted yesterday at 10:45 PM Author Report Share Posted yesterday at 10:45 PM Hoping it helps later-down-the-road. Just doing basic pre-mods before upgrading the turbos. I've only done NGK colder plugs, Livernois tune and painted my calipers 'Ford Blue'. Next will be catted downpipes and CVF Performance FMIS intercooler. Afterward, will be upgrading fuel pump and injectors. Only looking for about 400 AWD HP and 420 AWD TQ with a dyno tune to up the boost a bit. That's why I ordered the 50/50 BOV to take some stress off the current turbos on long trips. Hey, thank you for responding. What do you think about my upgrade plan? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldandintheway Posted 9 hours ago Report Share Posted 9 hours ago Your plan is solid! Should be a blast once you have it all dialed in. My wife drives our Edge ST mostly, so I want to try and not go too nuts with it. So far just the Unleashed 93 tune and one step colder Ruetheniums and a custom air intake crafted by @Xtra that I acquired from a past member. The intake is sweet, adds a nice growl too! I have colder thermostats on hand and will most likely do the CVF FMIC this summer. Almost forgot, it sits on H&R springs (bought it used and already had them) I am tempted to try another tune, I saw one that keeps the OAR learning like the Monster Adapt-X I have on my Focus ST.

jbrumley1 Posted 2 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Thanks, Oldandintheway. I'm 68, so, I feel your pain ... ha!! I'll probably just do a K&N drop-in filter for the air intake to squeeze a few ponies out of the factory intake for now. CAI later down the road. Don't want to go too far with the upgrades. Just a fun daily driver is what I'm looking at. Think I should do the pedal thing-a-ma-jig? I've read they improve throttle response a lot. Any downsides to them?
