- In this video I show off the Turbosmart 50/50 dual-port BOV for the Focus ST. Tripod, external mounting, and in-cabin footage to capture the sound.
Link to the BOV here: www.cjponypart...
Current mods on the 2017 Focus ST: COBB Cold Air Intake, Borla Catback Exhaust, Cobb Accessport, Stage 2 Tune on 91 Octane, Mishimoto Front Mounted Intercooler, Turbosmart BOV, Rally Innovations Front Splitter 3-Piece Matte Black Aluminum, Rally Armor Mudflaps.
Perfect amount of BOV sound.
Yep!! I have it on mine. Never get tired of it

I bought the turbosmart kompact shortie for my 2017 ST. It's subtle yet obnoxious when you want it to be. I love it!
I agree, this thing is so loud when you want it to be! It's great!
@@andrewmackey6185 whats better the shortie one or the other one i have a 15 st
I literally didn't know something like this existed. Keep up the good work!
Thanks!!! :)
“I’m sure you just saw those 2 white ladies whip their necks off”
Sounds like my Boomba. Can’t wait till my cpe exhale kit arrives.
I've seen a video on the exhale kit and it sounds awesome, that's hype dude!
I heard it’s a pain in the ass to instal lol
@@jessebudelman I'm sure it'll be worth it!!
LMAO “im sure you just saw those two white ladys rips there necks off” 😂
First off great video! Really does the best job showing what driving with this BOV is really like, especially for daily driving in all sorts of ways. Sold me on the BOV 100%. I know with this BOV you can change pretty much how loud it gets and I wasn't really going to mess with it, just keep it in the middle. But I wanted to know what yours was left at when you installed yours. Did you keep it as is or did you adjust it? Please let me know! Subbed.
Thank you! When I installed it, I left it as is. I believe it was in the middle :)
@@andrewmackey6185 Thank you so much I appreciate it!! I'm excited to get mine on.
@@andrewmackey6185 hey! I’ve had the blow off valve for a few weeks now and it’s a super fun addition. I noticed that when I am somewhat low boost, I would say maybe 1-2.9k rpms, there is some sort of squeaking(ish?¿) noise coming from the front of the vehicle and I was wondering if you have noticed that noise before too and if you know what it might be. Thanks!
There is no way my wife would be happy with me installing one of those in our car... she already put me in the dog house a while when I changed out the air induction system that made the stock recirculation valve louder 😉 it doesn't necessarily make heads turn in a good way either. I've heard people exclaim to boyracers with very loud blow off valves calling them d*ckheads!!
Haha! Yeah this bov is on the extremely loud side but I love it!
@@andrewmackey6185 and that's all that matters... do YOU like it 😉 the ST is certainly a very fun platform with so many tuning options and a whole market place of things you can get to enhance the car at good prices
@@n0w3lly90 I agree! Just let the haters hate, probably because they are secretly jealous ;)
@@andrewmackey6185 oh yess. I find very easy that many people are super jealous of the ST!! I LOVE IT 😊
Thanks for the video man! I’m definitely debating getting the 50/50. I love the sound, it’s a guilty pleasure. I’m just worried about getting pulled over and getting a fixit ticket here in socal. my question is, does gentle acceleration, or feather footing the throttle cause a loud blow off? There’s a lot of CHP on my daily route and I know I’ll get hammered for anything. I chose the ford performance exhaust for this reason.
Those were my initial concerns as well! I'm in SoCal too. If you feather your footing - a lot of the times you'll get some turbo flutter which is extremely quiet (but sounds cool inside the cabin). With gentle acceleration (driving like an old person) you wont set off the valve most of the time - and I have mine set pretty loose (I should have it a bit tighter which I might adjust in the future). If you're driving on the freeway in 5th or 6th and get into some boost and let off the throttle it will definitely go off but in my experience other cars will not be able to hear it. If you decide to go with this BOV, you will only draw attention to yourself if you really get on the throttle into boost and do some quick shifts and shift up into the next gear right back into boost. I can make a short video of driving it nicely and not getting into much boost if you would like to hear that!
Andrew Mackey yes please! Thank you for the reply. You just sold me on it! But I would love to see another video! The more focus content the better 🤘🏻
@@jonsauce No problem! Thanks for the feedback. I'll work on another video soon focused around driving the car normally so you can see what the exhaust/BOV sounds like!
I bought my 2016 ford focus st from the dealership with a COBB exhaust. It's pretty loud and haven't had any troubles. Just got my BOV in yesterday and will installing soon. For the most part, cops leave me alone. Also, I live in Beverly Hills and they don't normally do anything.
@@officialmew1127 How is the BOV sounding so far? I agree - I live in a decent place as well and cops tend to leave me alone. But I do try to act lowkey when cops are around just incase lol
Lol! White ladies ripping their necks off got me
Haha, they're always so cranky when I drive around :)
driving without shoes on though
I had to sell my shoes to get the blow off valve, worth it ;)
What kind of wheel hp do you make with these mods?
Is this the 50/50 Shortie Dual Port? Thanks
Yes - here is the direct link to what I purchased: www.cjponyparts.com/turbosmart-blow-off-valve-kompact-shortie-dual-port-focus-st-2013-2018-ecoboost-3-5l-f-150-2011-2012/p/TS02031061/ :)
@@andrewmackey6185 First off, thank you for making this video. I love the BOV sound. I bought a 2018 ST (ST2 package) earlier this month and except for some really nice black SPARCO rims, it's all stock. I'm looking to do a symposer delete and intake and eventually a COBB AccessPort and BOV.
However...and I'm NOT trying to call you out or anything, but I followed the link you posted and um.... the BOV doesn't have a CARB EO# (not Cali legal)
Which SUCKS for me because I'm in northern Cali.
I've had issues in the past with aftermarket parts and getting SMOGed so that makes me really reluctant. Have you had any problems in that area since installing this BOV?
Hey brotha where did you get that dash cover? Been looking for one and can’t find one that is able to go over the gauges!
Sorry for the late reply - dashcare.com/. That is where I got it from!
Did you adjust the spring on the BOV at all? I installed mine straight from the box but it still seems super quiet for some reason.
I did not adjust it all out of the box. Maybe try loosening it up a turn or 2 and see if that helps out? Let me know if you figure it out!
@@andrewmackey6185 Yeah, so i ended up loosening it up pretty much to the point where it passes the O-ring and then maybe a half turn more, so it definitely helped. I think it has to be really loose in order to blow off because I live in a higher elevation so it would make sense. It's still not as loud as I really imagined from the videos, but then again it's kind of hard to compare it to a video sound. Thanks for the reviews and reply. Love the vids!
@@Povasi I have read on the forums that people in higher elevations have issues with the bov going off and it being slightly quieter so that's kind of a bummer. Of course - and thanks!!
Might be a stupid question, but is this with the stock turbo?
Yes it's the stock turbo!
Why is there a doormat on your dashboard?
It's not the prettiest thing but at least it protects the dash from sun damage over these brutal summers in SoCal
I know I'm a few months late to the party here but...
Did you run it to a vacuum source or just have it blow off whenever?
In this video it was not on a true vacuum source. So it vented basically every time I let off the throttle even with no boost build up. My current setup is running a true vacuum source now!
@@andrewmackey6185 Awesome, thanks. Every once in a while I decide I want a BOV and start watching videos, then don't buy one for a while. Rinse, repeat haha. Glad you got it?
Looks like a floormat on your dash?
Haha, its just a dashcover custom made for the focus st with cutouts for the gauges and the automatic headlight sensors.
Does adjusting it to hard make it louder like what's the difference between hard and soft on the bov
Could you please link me to that dash protector
Sorry for the late reply - dashcare.com/. That is where I got it from!
Omg...the number if people outside with their masks on is hilarious 😂😂
Am I the only one that thinks this is just too loud? I can't find any info on how to make em quieter either..
It is very loud, I recently did a true vacuum setup using a sound symposer delete and it does make the bov quieter when you are normally driving it. I have had quite a few comments telling me its bad for the turbo etc.. just make sure you do your own research if you're considering that option.
@@andrewmackey6185 For sure, thanks for the response. I have heard a bit of flutter at low boost is okay, at higher boost it is a problem. And of course open throttle flutter/blow off is a big no-no. I'll make sure to do some extensive research before I decide to do it myself.
@@RigmanZ11 this BOV doesn’t cause any high-end flutter. I honestly had more with the stock valve.
I have the Boomba adjustable and it’s not as loud as this. It’s about 30/70 VTA if I’m not mistaken. Perfect IMO
Could you please tell me the what the matt on your dash is called
Sorry for the late reply - dashcare.com/. That is where I bought it from!
What year is ur car I want to buy a Ford Focus st
Mine is 2017!
Are you from Cali bro ?
Yep!
@@andrewmackey6185 did you install your blow off valve or did you go to a shop ?
@@dodgepower5270 I installed this with a friend who's had a ton of experience with cars and he did most of the work. We didn't remove the passenger tire - he had some awesome extension tools and great hand dexterity while I helped out a little bit lol
Love the barefoot!
Haha thanks ;)
Feet acquired....
Neck break at 3 minutes lol
The BOV is a head turner for sure! ;)
Where'd you get your dash cover?
Ok
No shoes 🤭
Boomer
15 minute install???? Apparently you did this 2 ways. Either you didn't do this yourself or you hired someone with extremely tiny hands.....15 minutes lmfao no way
I swear! Maybe like 25min at most as it was almost 3 years ago it was installed and I can't remember that well. I did it with a friend who's worked on cars their whole life and has installed lots of BOV's on different cars and he's done a turbosmart bov on a few focuses before as well. We didn't remove the passenger tire and he had very long extension tools, I was basically just the assistant while he removed the stock valve and installed the turbosmart bov lol. If I had to do it myself - probably would've taken at least an hour to do and probably closer to 2 hours if I filmed everything lmao
As I've taken the valve out to clean now I just didn't have the right extenders because I see what you mean. REALLY quick and simple!
Where do u get that carpet for the dashboard?
Sorry for the late reply - dashcare.com/. That is where I got it from!
Looks awful!
