Boomba Blow Off Valve

Post by bpd1104 »

I just purchased a Boomba BOV for my 2018 Civic Si and was wondering if that would affect performance in the vehicle. I know it's a smart tune and I it picked up all my other mods after the tune was completed (PRL cobra CAI, front pipe, down pipe and cat back exhaust). So will the BOV affect performance or should I be ok with my new cool psssst sound? Lol.

Vent to atmosphere BOVs will release already metered air and cause it to run richer than normal during this activity.

There's a thread on CivicX regarding the Boomba BOV. I too made the same mistake of purchasing it before reading about it. Luckily, I was able to have the package intercepted and returned to Boomba before it got to me. I cancelled my order and was able to get a refund minus the $8 shipping. The BOV will make the car run richer, which can increase wear. Simply put, our cars were not meant for VTA applications. I took the money and instead put it towards the KTuner. That was a much wiser decision.
