Hey guys,
I was trying to do some research and see how to set the BOV to VTA but was not able to find an exact answer but there's a good possibility I overlooked it. I saw the how to article for the flex but is it the exact same process on a 2010 SHO?
Yes, same process for all transverse vehicles.
Thanks Mike!!!
Is there a way someone could post a link to actual show me how to do this???
Thanks
It's really easy. Just remove the hoses from the BOV to the intake. The front is super easy. Sqeeze the clamps and wiggle the tube off. The back, I just took the end off the intake. Then, pop on the caps. Your done.

Can I do this on the XSport? Same location/process?
Is the sound the only benefit?(cool benefit) is there any down side?
Thx
You should be able to. Might be a little different. Just a noise benefit. No known down side.
I did this on my f150. It has one downside. I play with it to much so I lose fuel economy ;(

Did you have to clamp the rubber piece down or does it just stay on?
I didn't use clamps. Might add them but the air should be pulling them down. They were fairly snug.
Just Say yes to ........ NOISE FLUFF :WOOT: :WOOT:
Will it still make PFFFT sound if the car is all stock?
Went vta today but could not get back hose clamp off to take off hose from Bov so I left it on and disconnected from the return and put stopper on

That's what I did. Hoping my mechanic will have something to get the back hose off the BOV.
Lol great to hear I wasn't the only one....I gave up after 30 mins of pondering
Just take the turbo pipe off, it's quick and easy. I used the clamps off the hose to secure the caps.

The only reason they don't VTA from the factory, is to keep the EPA basterds happy. So if you VTA you must hug a tree once a week to make up for it.
Lol sorry quoted the wrong person.
Started this mod today and have a few questions. What do you do with the hose that you disconnect? Does it just hang there? Do you remove it completely? Will this suck elements into your engine? Do you need to install an air filter?
you have to remove and cap off.
Quote from: crash712us on February 15, 2014, 01:51:52 PM

Not sure what you mean.... I understand where to cap. I'm wondering about the other side. Did you leave the hose? Remove it? Do you need a breather or filter to keep elements from getting into the engine?
It releases air, not intakes air. Its pressure released, so i am not sure how it would intake any dirty air
I believe the cap is for the intake side, Please correct me if i am wrong. and the blow off valve just release the pressure into the air.
Remove the hose and cap off the recirculation area the side of the tube not connected to the blow off valve. That is the area that sucks the blow off valve does not suck elements in but rather releases it appears that's my understanding
There's no adverse affects in doing this? I seem to remember from my Subaru days that those cars don't like getting away from the recirc BOV's...messes with how the car runs.

sounds like a 20 min job lol
It's a real pita to remove the back hose off of the bov valve
Ya the rear is a pain.. I unhooked the front BOV sensor and rubber connection so i could rotate the pipe and get better access to the rear clamp that is on the BOV.. if you only want a little noise fluff just cap the front BOV if you want more noise do both front and back..
Also these rubber chair caps do work but i would be much happier if we can find a proper high temp cap.
What cap does the hotpipe kit have

I assume you mean the caps for the nipples on the turbo piping (the ones that allow recirc instead of VTA). Hope I got your question right.
Here's the pics of the kit: http://shop.ecoboostpowerparts.com/Ford-Flex-SHO-Lincoln-MKT-MKS-Hot-Pipes-EB-HotPipes.htm (http://shop.ecoboostpowerparts.com/Ford-Flex-SHO-Lincoln-MKT-MKS-Hot-Pipes-EB-HotPipes.htm)
There are no caps I know of as part of the kit (I have a coated stock mounting version ordered)... The BoV tubing comes off the mounted BoV itself for the 2 stock BoVs or is straight VTA with the single TIAL BoV. I never discussed caps with Mike... I also own the TIAL version currently and plan to sell it after I install and test the new ones... I personally just wanted a little quieter turbo blow off.
The recirc plumbing is not a part of the hot pipe kit.

Here are some high temp silicon caps that will work. 4DR found these a while ago, I can confirm they're a perfect fit.

Sorry im on my phone writing this. So this is the topic on making the bov vent to atmosp. Right now our solution is to buy the chair leg caps which will work for sometime. But i worry about long term reliability of the rubber. The heat cycles could easily damage that rhbber over time. So i am using the chair leg caps currently. And have continued looking for a better solution. Well tlit dawned on me that if you buy the hot pipes aka intercooler piping you would have to cap off the same holes in the intake tubes as you would to make the stock bov vta.. so that hot pipe must come with a good quality cap for the stock intake rubes.

4DR's HotPipe require no capping because they are not plumbed for blow off .
So what you have to leave the factory bov hooked up to the rubber tube to the intake plumbing? This remark was based in using the tial bov

If you are talking about the factory recirc BoV what to do with the tubing on the 2 BoVs is your choice... This is also true on the EPP marketed (4DR) hPs with factory flanges. If you buy the Hotpipes with the YIAL BoV what SW says is right on. However the intake side still has the nipples where the other end of the tubing went... those you want to cap to keep unfiltered air out of your engine and turbos.
Pics and easy instructions from DJE are here:http://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php?topic=1935.msg27769#msg27769 (http://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php?topic=1935.msg27769#msg27769)
What you do with the hoses attached to the factory BoVs? ...your choice! ...delete or leave might make a difference in sound that's all.
Hope this helps.
Lol well thus has went way past my original purpose. I now see shomanmike has posted a solution that i was after. A quality silicone cap for the holes on the intake plumbing when you make the factory setup vta

I still don't quite understand how the Bo system is set up on our cars.
Do they have a factory bov that can be replaced with an after market on the will achieve desired results?
Going through all the post it looks like one by intake manifold and then that latest pic of that thing on opposite side of the front valve cover (that you put the filter on)
Two electronic valves on the charge pipe from the rear turbo. Technically they should be called a "bypass" valve jf they are routing the air back into the intake. There really isn't any room for one on the charge pipe from the front turbo so I'm sure that is the reason for 2. One closest to the rear turbo and one closer to the intercooler( and front turbo). Both vent back into the intake pipe. Since this car doesn't have a MAF sensor it doesn't matter what happens to the air from these valves.
There is no reason to put a filter on the ends of the factory valves or any. A blow off valve should have zero restriction and obviously does not need filtered. This is about as dumb as putting air filters on your exhaust tips. Think about it.
You have 2 options for change.
- Stock valves, vented to atmosphere. Capping off the intake pipe. Now you can call it a "blow off" valve.
- Ecoboost power parts hot (charge) pipes and an aftermarket mechanical blow off valve.
It would be nice to see someone make a direct replacement mechanical non plastic valves for the factory charge pipe. Would need to come up with some sort of a plug to go into the factory bypass valve harness to trick the car into thinking they are still there. I'm going to look into making something like this is LMS can't "turn off" the factory valves with the tune.

^^^With the amount of road salt and sand used around my parts, there is no way I would leave any opening to the air flow into my engine and therefore I introduced the filter. Especially since I have no means to confirm that the factory BOV does not introduce any vacuum.

Better safe than sorry and it wont hurt anything and probably LOOKS cool !
The won't hurt anything is not confirmed as your restricting the air being released, meaning all the air is not being release the same as without a filter.

Without have the tools or formulas to calculate or measure it, I am not sure that the filter itself creates any more friction loss than the original setup that has a short section of tubing going into a t-shape convergence of air flows. One thing I am sure of is that I will not get any debris vacuumed through the BOV with a filter.
Many thanks to Chuck for the red caps. With the front cover, and the red battery terminal cover, it's just the right little splash of color to go with the Typhoon's filter. But the big deal was, it prodded me to get that back hose off the rear BOV. Take the BOV off with the two bolts (I think it was 8mm-long), use a small screwdriver to spin the clamp around to where you can get a pair of pliers on it and ..... Presto! It's off!
Yes thank you chuck! Received my caps today.

Well, here's the link:

You can order any size diameter desired, but 25mm is what I got.
They come with clamps, & your choice of red, blue, or black.
Come two, per order.
I too, albeit temporarily, used some of the alternative options listed previously (discussed within this thread) but was concerned about longevity in the engine compartment.
The product I listed, resolved those concerns for me.
Hope it's of some help to those looking / needing such items.
Yes, I did check Samco Silicone hoses 1st, but they were nearly double in price, at only one piece per order.
Heck with that! :doh:

My only concern is turbo spool. I've don't the conversion but doesn't the recirculation force air and keep the turbos spooling whereas now it has to gather only air from the outside
I did this mod yesterday, and normal driving, I never hear it. If I try and act like my car is a manual and snap my foot off the gas, I can barley hear it. If I roll the window down, and turn the stereo off, its "ok".
I think it must be a comparison gap, when people say they can hear the turbo spool due to an intake on these cars, or how loud the stock BOVs are, I don't think you guys have owned a car with a bigger turbo. My last car was a 2010 Genesis Coupe turbo, that I did a big turbo on, bigger fuel system, and the works, and that turbo you hear spooling up over a loud stereo with the windows up, and the BOV could be heard for blocks away.
I think im just going to take my caps off, and return the car to stock. Since I didn't even hear the BOVs once on my 45 minute trip to work, I don't see the point.
That's odd. I hear mine blow off fine but then again, I don't use the radio and you do have to really listen for them. Did you hear geswek's snow video? I can also hear the turbos spool at about 1500-1800 with the Typhoon. They sound a little raspy up front to me when they spool.

When the turbos are spooling, they start sucking through the intake. Blow off is when they are "unspooling".

Im not saying I cant hear it, but to me its not noticeable. If I snap my foot off the gas, and have the radio off, I can hear it, but that's not normal driving. Maybe ill notice it more when I have the windows down, but even then, I do audio systems for a living, and love music and sound quality, and windows down, kills sound quality.
I really only notice it when the windows are down, which is not often in the winter.
Mine is quite audible however I have the typhoon system as well

Just remove the hose that goes from each BoV to the CAC (turbo intake tube)... Be sure to cap the nipples left on the CAC.... Hi temp is the only requirement for the caps... I used silicon... others have had great luck with chair leg caps etc.
Really it's that easy... the rear one is hard to reach, but it's basically 4 hose clamps removed and 2 nipples capped. There are some pics in my hotpipe install thread that may help.

Did this on my 2012 f150 http://youtu.be/UNDasyYArxU
Stock best 14.87s @ 91mph
i troll these streets eH
I had VTA on my list prior to a tune, but after installing the tune, I can easily hear the blow off even with the valves in their stock recirculating setup. I do not have a modified air box, so I'm surprised that I can hear it after reading some of the comments in this thread. The sound is present with the daily driver tune (15psi) and the beast mode tune (18psi). Maybe I should VTA just for comparison's sake. It's pretty loud already...
I'm considering going back to stock for a bit
With my intake system my VTA is pretty noticeable to the point where other drivers notice, the tune made it much more effortless to replicate at my disposal.
Just did this little mod on my 2011 PP, sounds great and very noticeable by other drivers, especially other drivers with turbos that have a BOV that VTA. I used the rubber chair ends from Lowes, only 2 bucks and 5 mins to install. This was way cheaper then spending the 200+ bucks for a BOV that I spent on my O6 Subaru STi.
THanks,

Welcome aboard Zorin,nice to be able to do a cheap mod for 2.00 and good luck with the ride.
I've done this as well in the past few weeks. Capped them with the black chair leg caps...$2 at Lowes. Pulled the hose completely from the front one...for the back one, just pulled the intake side since the BOV side is hard to reach, and left the hose there.
I could hear it before with the Typhoon intake, but it's even more noticeable now, especially at lighter throttle. It's slightly louder, and maybe a little more raspy/higher pitched.

Same here... Did mine due to hotpipes. Used to go pfffft.... Now goes PFFFFT!
Just finished my BOV to VTA last night. Took about 45min due to lack of the right tool to get the hose off the back BOV. BUT, with much fiddling, swearing, and 1 cut knuckle.... my car goes PPPPFFFFFFTTTTTTTT!!!!!! just waiting to see how bad my gas mileage is because every time it goes, i giggle and smile like a 2 year old....
That sound is made for parking garages.

The pita part is putting back that rear hose,next time just remove one section and cap off the port,easier that way if you need to put it back down the road for dealer service,good luck.

While anything could happen... I had a valve cover gasket leak and had the dealer replace it with my hotpipes in place.... No hose to reconnect they had to R&R the charge system to do it. The dealer got it back perfectly and called it "air in - air out" change with no problem.... Again, anything could happen
Quick question going along with the VTA mod. This is my first turbo vehicle i've owned. Should I be concerned with any oil in the pipe where the BOVs are?
It depends on how much. There will be some, just because of the nature of the pcv system. The hose on the front valve cover recirculates oil vapors back into the intake system.

yeah, figuring car is at 50k miles, it wasn't POURING out or anything crazy. but i was able to wipe up a bit on my finger.
My son just took delivery of his 2010 pearl white non PP SHO today. We came straight home just to vent the BOV to atmosphere, lol. Man it sounds so much better than stock. tunes coming very soon.
Thats a nice feeling father&son working together and getting to enjoy the car.cause i am in the same position,but i usually try to drive slow when together with him,good luck and keep the bond&mods going,Silkysmooth02.
Best thing I've found to handle this stock pesky squeeze clamps is a good set of vice grips. Adjust them right, squeeze them on the clamps, then you can pull the hose off without having to hold the clamp.
Vice grips can be real lifesavers working around cars :thumb:
I bought some cobalt vice grips specifically for this, damn things aren't even a year old but wont remain clamped

Lowes will take back damn near anything if its their brand.
I have a mini screwdriver that I use everyday, I must have exchanged it 10 times already.
A while ago when i did it had pretty good luck with a small stuby flat head screw driver,while holding the hose at the same time would insert the flat head in the gap of the clamp and push it back,at the same time would twist and pull the hose off gently&slowly remove the hose cause the BOV is fragile,worked for me.cause originally the clamp was facing against the firewall for some reason so you dont remove it i guess from the factory.
They have a special tool for this.

This absolutely doesn't work on a 2013 SHO. The bovs bleed out all the pressure during acceleration for some reason so you can't build boost. SIGH. Would have been sweet if it did work.
Someone lied to you brother :)

Sorry dudes, thanks for the quick response. I forgot to connect the little vacuum tube since I removed the whole intake pipe to get to the rear bov.
Do I have to do both sides to VTA ? Or will one side do ?
One side will do, but it won't be as loud. I had just the front one vta and I could barely hear it.

Ok thanks ... will do it later , lent my toolbox to bother -in -law
:😒
I wonder if you installed a cap on the bov with a smaller opening would it change the sound?

I've seen videos with people putting duck calls on the BOV. It's pretty funny
