Interesting that the 22 WRX now has a stock aluminum turbo inlet rather than the plastic one from the previous generation. Good upgrade out of the box from Subaru.
Absolutely a good upgrade. I'm sure subaru knows about the issue with the 15-21 turbo inlets issues and how they are prone to cracking.. especially where the bpv connects. I bought the Grimmspeed inlet as soon as it released, before my OEM one had a chance to fail. Just in case.. But yeah, nice to see Subaru making that change! 🤟
@@Antykain Also replaced mine with the unit from COBB. Overall I prefer having the peace of mind that it won't fail, especially with the added weight of an aftermarket BPV putting stress at the weakest point.
Hey @turbosmartHQ, any easy ideas for a whistle under heavy load in 1st/2nd following install? Also is the orientation plug facing up on an angle or down on an angle to the front of the vehicle?
I have noticed the rough idle after installing this, had the car die on me after falling from high rpms, which i would could prove to be dangerous if you werent paying attention, or in a perfect storm scenario. Thought maybe vaccuum leak but we smoke tested it and found nothing. It does make a cool woosh sound but at the expense of it low idling and catching up. Has become much more noticable as winter moves in here in north alabama, where in the summer its hot thick humid air with pretty consistent temps day and night, but in the winter we get 30-45° temp drops and the air is just as humid so i know that sudden influx of cold thick air can be really taxing on an engine especially during break in
There was a video that explained that although the dual port BOV is louder, it is recommended to have tuning accompanying the install to prevent the hunting and stalling scenarios. Elevation, temp, and humidity will all play a role in how the engine management system controls the fuel. I believe the video stated that it creates very rich conditions that lead to the issues. The Kompact Plumb Back Valve was recommended for those that are not ready to add a tune to the car. I will be looking into that model when I get mine in a week or two. My tall ass will not fit in a WRX with a sunroof so finding a Premium trim without is a little hard.
I love these vids. The only thing that would make them cooler… is if you were on the floor with Jack stand… jus sayin. We all don’t have the dope car lift. 😅
Technically it’s not safe, this is not a BOV it’s a BPV. They are different. If you wanna be safe get the full recirculating BPV, it will not make the cool sounds though
Just wanted some input I had a 2021 WRX and I was told for that Gen you had to do a tune when installing a blow off valve. Is that the same thing for this new generation? I have a 2022 but did not know if you need a tune when installing the blow off valve
Dual port has a 50/50 spread, meaning 50 percent of air goes back into the intake and the other 50 gets blown out of into the atmosphere. This is probably why this bov for this gen works unlike the other BOV's for the previous gen. The plum I believe recirculates all of the air back into the intake, not 100 percent sure on that but if that's so then you wouldnt get the the woosh noise your looking for with the plum.
I have a question I install mine few days ago I do not see any problem yet the car has OTS Map stage 1 and cold air intake,but I noticed if I want to hear the wooshhh I have to acelérate the car around 4 000 rpm that’s normal ?
It just vents to the atmosphere which is bad because the computer thinks it’s recirculating back into the car so you might actually be running a little leak. These new WRX’s have BPV so you want to be recirculating.
@@ValkenDnB That is not correct. While our Dual Port has a port that partially vents to the atmosphere, it also has a recirculation port. This recirculation port will send roughly 50% of the air back into the intake system to satisfy OE parameters in the ECU. A BOV does not alter boost pressure, it simply diverts pressure away from the turbo. If you are seeing a slight leak after installation I would double check your work to ensure everything is secured and snug to eliminate any areas where a leak could occur.
Do a pressure test to find if its leaking especially if you pinched the O ring wich is easy to do as you cant really see anything with that turbo inlet on the way.
I stripped my bolts as the BOV is slightly bigger on the edges and hard to tighten the very top bolt in place and new provided bolts seem to go in way tighter than original bolts, but stock bolts have such tiny depth for the angle on torx screw driver. Then again mine is a 2023 wrx….
While we do not claim increased horsepower, the way our valve seals sometimes allows for better response from the turbo over the factory valve. This can result in a pick up in power in the low to mid end of the RPM range.
@@manjarrezramon it doesn’t void the warranty unless you tune the car. Some dealerships are strict when it comes to “modified” cars. Depending on the dealer, they will either “flag” your car to Subaru of America as a modified car if you tune your vehicle or have a Cobb access port. However, in some cases my dealer doesn’t do all that. But if you tune the car, there isn’t much the dealer can do. If you want my opinion, don’t do a cold air intake unless you plan on tuning your car. There’s “safe” intakes but trust me the stock intake works better than you think.
@@eliasnava4851 thanks for the info and the advice. Appreciate it. I put an intake on my 22 but ever since I’ve been wanting to take it off. And you’ve just pointed me in that direction. 👌🏾
Can anyone enlighten me on exactly how the factory recirculating diverter valve works? I know it is electronic, but is it variable / graduated? Is it merely an on / off solenoid? The same question for the "analog" version being installed here. Seems like a VERY simple device. I do not care about the sound. What is the performance difference
I am running into an issue where the car will stall if I am getting off the highway, and come to a complete stop quickly after the blow off valve releases. (Probably would be fine if I was using the BPV over the Dual Port) Unfortunately this route is on my daily commute so it will likely have to come off fairly soon. I hope you’re having better results on your end.
Curious if u solved this? I feel like after install I’m getting way more backfire. All I have is sti oem axelback. Car does seem way more responsive I must say.
@@RoaminRomeros I can’t speak for OP but I went back to stock and the issue went away. I’m not currently running any monitoring system such as a AP so I didn’t feel comfortable running it as is. Although it sounds like others have had better results
Not surprised to see these stupid comments still.. probably went out his way just to post this too. Whatever. To each their own. lol. Gotta love these douches in the car community these days. Good times!
The new WRX looks good only after a lot of paint and body work. It's definitely a better car than the outgoing model mechanically but on the outside it's piss poor from factory.

The Dual Port and Plumb Back do not require a tune for installation.
Will it void any warranties though?
@@californinja1714it’ll only void warranty if they can prove the aftermarket part caused the failure.
@Californinja17 the part is easy enough to swap out when you take it for any warranty work that's what I did

Will BOVs void warranties? Does it require a tune?
Is this BOV install will avoid my Subaru warranty ? The true please!

I feel that way about almost any car videos where they're in the shop 😭
right imagine how difficult it actually is to do this without the lift
Am I able to install this on a 24 wrx without voiding warranty
So if I wanted a BOV for my 2021 WRX which would I look for? & are they safe for engine life?
Any other recommendations for daily driver that is safe and doesn’t require a time?
Technically it’s not safe, this is not a BOV it’s a BPV. They are different. If you wanna be safe get the full recirculating BPV, it will not make the cool sounds though
@@234567kingwrong
Are these safe without a tune?
No tune is required!

Why does 2 minute tuesday go for over 5 mins
what blow off valve for my 24 wrx cvt?
Will this void the warranty ?
Yes
But I mean since it’s a simple install. If you ever have to go back or the factory for something just put it back on 😂 seems simple enough.
What’s the difference between plum back and dual port, do they work with the cvt?
Dual port has a 50/50 spread, meaning 50 percent of air goes back into the intake and the other 50 gets blown out of into the atmosphere. This is probably why this bov for this gen works unlike the other BOV's for the previous gen. The plum I believe recirculates all of the air back into the intake, not 100 percent sure on that but if that's so then you wouldnt get the the woosh noise your looking for with the plum.
wouldnt any form of vent to atmo cause issues without a tune because they are not speed density ?
Foster, did Kevin show you everything you know before he was fired?
Do you need tune for this piece?
I have a question I install mine few days ago I do not see any problem yet the car has OTS Map stage 1 and cold air intake,but I noticed if I want to hear the wooshhh I have to acelérate the car around 4 000 rpm that’s normal ?
Is it loud enough to hear the psssss from outside tho
yes!
Ayooo :) after install peak boost went from 13.2 to 11. Obviously there’s a lot of variables here but does it seem like a leak somewhere?

Fired the guy that was the only reason i came here to see videos.
Would love to see you do a Dyno test of the car to see how much hp it increases.
0 increase from a blow off that's actually venting to atmosphere.
Recirculating is more efficient.

@Andy-Andeee that is 100% not true in any form or fashion.
Does installing a bov void any warranties?
No it doesn’t. I work for Subaru as a mainline technician. As long as the car CID isn’t changed, meaning it’s not tuned, you’re in the good.
@@eliasnava4851 thanks for the reply and does that mean an intake won’t void the warranty either?
