Kim's Regal Turbo - BOV fun on page 4



Re: Kim's Whip...with trade-in mod and now BOOST!

I work at a Buick/GMC dealer and i drive these all the time. nothing like flooring them in the back of the lot racking up to 50mph quickly lol. Shouldve got a GS!!!!! Those are soooo much more nicer. I love the GS steering wheel. I do believe those are priced at 34k, the Prem1 Turbo? Either way nice buy, i actually love the new buicks.
 
Re: Kim's Whip...with trade-in mod and now BOOST!

I know a certain other member on this site that should have bought a regal gs but decided on a lame awd car :D
 


Re: Kim's Whip...with trade-in mod and now BOOST!

Kinda wish my lady got a G5 instead of her cobalt. I think they just look cleaner

No.

As tempremental as these MAF's and everything else is in these cars, no thanks. I'll be buying the ZZP one. It works, very well.

Yeah, it was a loaner car for the higher ups at the dealer, had just over 500 miles on it. Plus, it's not a '13. So, after them telling me to leave we got it for $22,988...bought it from the same salesman and dealership as the G5, so it went back home. Got a $250 gift card for dealer related stuff as well, probably get some nice floormats or something for when these take a crap. We couldn't justify the 12K hike in price just for some nicer seats, non-slushbox, 20's, and a little more power.

Yeah, agreed there. I hate my car I get into every morning. Ha.

is that the stock BOV on there? it's probably redirected back into the intake, yeah?

Stock yeah...want a Synapsis or however you spell it, they sound great. Probably do that whenever they come out with charge piping for it...
 
It probably has a diverter valve.

And I'd sure as hell keep it on there.

If you wanted to "upgrade" consider a forge 07.

It might actually have a CBV, meaning its built into the turbo itself.

hmm didn't know the stock valve was that loud.

They are actually pretty loud, I didn't know either under I heard it under load.

Forge actually makes a louder stock style'd BPV, because apparently these cars don't like aftermarket blow off valves.

Louder than stock...and it replaces the factory plastic diaphram style'd one that apparently can fail under hot conditions.

She liked it after I showed her the video of them as well...so figure that plus an intake and some window tint and it'll be called a day.
 
the dont like BOVs because they're made to use a recirc valve, like most newer turbo cars. you have to move the MAF to a different location to use a BOV correctly.
