BoV's installation and operation

[Chipper308]

Hello, some questions, if you could verify that im correct or incorrect that would be great...the topic is BoV's. now where is a bov mounted? on the pipe inbetween the turbo and the intake right??? stock is a soft tubing and not a solid pipe correct?
On the new piping does it match right up without any fabbing?
-when you put an aftermarket on what work entails going into getting them on there? to my understanding greddy comes with aftermarket J-pipe that matches right up.

I understand what a bov does, relieves pressure when your off the throttle and closes when your on it. so reaction time is a big deal, so in lue of that i have read the synapse is one of the best and this would be the one id like to install, if not a Tial. opinions on both? and what lengths would i have to go to to install them on a stock 2g? i dont weld, and i cant learn, its a dead trade to me and im completely 100% untalented in that field and ill just ruin shit

Thanks for the replys, im going out so i wont repond right away!!

Yeah, it's a bit confusing. I was lost too the first time I read about it.

You basically get a chip installed in the ECU. Since you have a 97, you'll need a bit more work than socketing. You just send your ECU to the guys at DSMLink.com. For a small price, they will do all the work needed so that the chip can be installed. Once the chip is installed an the ECU is back in the car, you hook up a computer to the OBDII port. You have to download the program (which is free) in order for the computer to connect to the ECU. But once your plugged in, you can adjust the factory settings with your own laptop. The chip will save the changes for you until you edit them again.

when they send the ecu back does it come with the hardware? usb jack-in cable? and if you mess something up? can u save settings such as "OMFG BLOW MY SHIT UP" SETTING or "econ setting" is this basically every performance chip every installed in a vehicle.... all in one?? can u allways revert back to Fact. settings??

also how much are we talking here, i see 185 for the ECU conversion then all the way up to 600 bucks for basically the wires and such? idk i gotta go to bed, this is giving me a headache

Thanks for the help!!

The DSMLink package comes with a chip, a cable, and a CD. The Lite version is around 400 if I'm not mistaken while the Full version is a bit more. Full includes a bit too much stuff for the beginner so I'd suggest Lite. You can also find the chip and cable used for cheaper.

And yes, you can save differet tunes on your computer. I have a tune for pump gas and one for E85. But it's not as easy as pushing a button like most other "tuning" chips out there. It takes me a few minutes to switch between pump and E85.

I have a Flashable Blackbox ECU and you could run a Tactrix 2.0 Cable. It's a Ceddy Mod and it's what I was going to use to tune the car after Installed the 16g.
