Replying to: bertus24 (May 23, 2007 12:08 am) dump valve? Are you speaking of the blow-off valve? Haven't heard it called a dump valve. Or wastegate?   -mike Replies to this message: bertus24 (May 23, 2007 3:38 am) paisan (May 23, 2007 3:45 am) bertus24 (May 23, 2007 3:58 am) and 3 more...

Replying to: bertus24 (May 23, 2007 3:38 am) BOV is bolted right to the IC at least on the 02-06 WRXs. Question I have is why do you want to change it? It does de-power your car if you do that.   -mike Replies to this message: bertus24 (May 23, 2007 3:58 am) paisan (May 23, 2007 4:20 am) bertus24 (May 23, 2007 4:28 am) and 1 more...

Replying to: paisan (May 23, 2007 3:45 am) I have the 2001 WRX, i have some lag on the turbo, and when i say that, when I pull off and the turbo kicks in, and go to second gear, the BOV doesnt do what it use to do, it did always dump the extra air out and you could hear how it dumps, you cant anymore, one of our dealer ships had a look and he siad I need to replace it otherwise I might end up replacing my turbo. So i believe him, he is the Subaru dealership.. Do you have s0me pointers you can give me?

Replying to: bertus24 (May 23, 2007 3:58 am) Where are you located? I'm assuming outside the US as there were no 2001 WRXs sold in the US. It could very well be your problem, so replace it with a stock one and see if it fixes it. It should be bolted to the Intercooler, 2 bolts on the firewall side.   -mike Replies to this message: bertus24 (May 23, 2007 4:28 am) paisan (May 23, 2007 4:31 am)

Replying to: paisan (May 23, 2007 4:20 am) Yes I am, I am in South Africa.... I will have a look and see if i cant locate it, did Subaru manufactured BOV's on all scoobys? Replies to this message: paisan (May 23, 2007 4:31 am)

Replying to: bertus24 (May 23, 2007 4:28 am) Ah ha. Cool. Yeah all the ones with intercoolers have a BOV. Your WRX should have one.   -mike
