BOV to VTA

[Silkysmooth02]

My son just took delivery of his 2010 pearl white non PP SHO today.  We came straight home just to vent the BOV to atmosphere, lol.  Man it sounds so much better than stock.  tunes coming very soon.

Best thing I've found to handle this stock pesky squeeze clamps is a good set of vice grips. Adjust them right, squeeze them on the clamps, then you can pull the hose off without having to hold the clamp.

Vice grips can be real lifesavers working around cars :thumb:

I bought some cobalt vice grips specifically for this, damn things aren't even a year old but wont remain clamped

Lowes will take back damn near anything if its their brand.
I have a mini screwdriver that I use everyday, I must have exchanged it 10 times already.

A while ago when i did it had pretty good luck with a small stuby flat head screw driver,while holding the hose at the same time would insert the flat head in the gap of the clamp and push it back,at the same time would twist and pull the hose off gently&slowly remove the hose cause the BOV is fragile,worked for me.cause originally the clamp was facing against the firewall for some reason so you dont remove it i guess from the factory.

They have a special tool for this.

This absolutely doesn't work on a 2013 SHO. The bovs bleed out all the pressure during acceleration for some reason so you can't build boost. SIGH. Would have been sweet if it did work.

Sorry dudes, thanks for the quick response. I forgot to connect the little vacuum tube since I removed the whole intake pipe to get to the rear bov.

Do I have to do both sides to VTA ? Or will one side do ?

 

[glock-coma]

One side will do, but it won't be as loud. I had just the front one vta and I could barely hear it.

I wonder if you installed a cap on the bov with a smaller opening would it change the sound?

I've seen videos with people putting duck calls on the BOV. It's pretty funny

Yep... Plays music for the hula dancer bobble head on their dashboards just below the fringe.
