Been doubting on an aftermarket BOV. Used to have one on my WRX in my younger years and switched it to the HKS SSQV, even had all the inserts haha

But for the Explorer im in doubt if it is "fitting" for the car to have the bov sounds/noises.

If you baby even normal driving you don’t have any noise at all.

Building boost its loud but MPG’s go way down

Read the thread and follow the links to other reasons why a BOV on this engine is pointless. But hey, if you want it to sound like you have a '90s DSM engine under the hood...it's your money.

What's a DSM engine?

The old eagle talons and mitsu eclipses. AWD 2.0 liter turbos (at least the top of the line models). Precursor to the Evos in the States. At least in my experience due to the restrictive exhaust (part of the boost control strategy) and their awful BOVs, they were the reason a BOV became a "thing".

And just to clarify my content on my feeling about BOVs on speed density systems:

Agree. This is part of the reason I couldn't go with the Atlas Blue color for my ST. It reminded me too much of my buddies 2002 Subaru WRX that was the bright blue.

My '94 US Impreza. Upgraded with a JDM version VII STI drivetrain. Not quite World Rallye Blue, but close.

Dsm is en engine code then or something? Only saw the eclipse on holiday and in "that" movie haha or is it a synonym for JDM?

DSM is Diamond Star Motors….AKA Mitsubishi and Chrysler working together back then.

My mom had an Eagle Talon. Sweet ride back then.

DSM’s are what got me into the car game and started the addiction to boost.

Same here! I think my username is the same on dsmtuners / dsmtalk. My first car was a 92 GSX that I bought in 2005. I actually wanted to make my Focus ST sound like a DSM, so it has a Greddy Type S BOV. I wouldn't be opposed to having that sound on the Explorer ST... ‍♂️

Remember crushing 1g BOVs?

Looks like I'm in the camp who just wants to hear the BOV woosh on my 22. It's not very different from those installing exhaust systems for mostly the audible gains.
Are there any threads with sound clips comparing the various BOV brands and how they sound? I've heard some feedback that one sounds more high pitch.

That's clean! Haven't seen one of them since my teens!
