Because, as said above, an NA car does not produce the manifold pressure to set off a BOV when you back off. It's useless to even put one on as it just wont work. It wont do any damage though.

well after spending $200 for a metal fabrucated intake pipe and welded a $300 BOV to it. all it will do it nothing. as no air will flow thru it - as not enough air pressure it built up to pass through it.

nice big sounds set up.

fake BOVs do not make a car sounds good.

a nsw astina is the same as a qld astina.

if you cannot make it sound good, make it look good instead, rims, lowered, chin lip.

Thank you
haha i know what you mean, but i am very much a noob when it comes to my car and what i can do.
I been trying to make sense, by reading one of the sticky thread. for putting lights for the interior like the stencil of the dash. the instruments to be white ( i hope that makes sense)
hope to get a HID kit for my lights.
and the rims, personally do not like chromes. hence why if you saw the pics on the other thread (BA Astina Tyres).
sorry project what is a chin lip
