New to the site and i'm having a problem, i purchased the mopar bov and installed it, and i did not work, ive checked for leaks and other problems and was told that it might have a stiffer spring in the bov. any advice?

 

did you put it on backwards? that's usually what happened when it's not working. those things blow off constantly....

 

is there alot of problems with the mopar bov kit?

 

its not on backwards cause i checked it twice, but i was told there are two types of springs in the bov. stiff and soft

 

if it's on correctly then it should be working. did you use rtv and seal it?

kartman - people on this board seem to love the mopar bov, but the general consensus of the srt community is that it's useless and annoying. it leaks and is constantly blowing off, even in reverse. it's not called the mopar rice plate for nothing. most people that get it usually get rid of it out of annoyance fairly quickly. except the people here, not sure why but everyone here loves the thing. i had it for about 6 months and it's subsequently been on like 8 cars. no one keeps it long lol.

 

I would like to enjoy it if i can get it to work, know of any sites i can order a stock bov.

 

i just am wanting to get a different bov. .but i want one thats fairly inexpensive, doesnt sound too aggressive and is very dependable

 

i paid about 80$ for mine after shipping and ive listened to them on other cars and i like the way it sounds and for the most part for not being of any use to the car its best for the buck, if i can only get mine to work, there are some nice audio clips on streetfire.net

 

The only way it wouldn't work is if it's either installed wrong or the pink line is off. I'm one of those that like my Mopar BOV and has never had a problem out of it. It does blow off far easier and more often than otheraftermarket BOV's, but I prefer it's sound over that of most BOV's dying strangled bird sounds. Some others sound good, but their prices are too much for something that has the same exact function as the Mopar BOV which is far less expensive.

 

just try boosting 23 psi on a mopar bov...that should be interesting to watch.I dunno why you guys like it so damn much, or even buy one if you know you're going to mod your car.If you wanna boost 15 psi then I guess this bov is good for that, but forget about boosting 20 or higher.I respect everyones opinion...but i think it's a waste of money and time
