On past turbo cars I have always liked upgrading the bov. I see that on the R it is built into the turbo housing.

So has anyone used this? Was thinking it would be a good mod before the tune.

I searched CBV upgrade and found nothing.

a bunch of people have. its a PITA if you don't have 4yr old kid hands but doable. if you do this without removing the turbo you should do the SNABB pipe and run new silicone hoses.

With the amount of time it'll take you to get to the inner most bolt and all the bolts for that matter I would remove the turbo and do it...yeah there's double the amount of bolts/nuts but it can be done a whole lot quicker (depending on how stubborn the DP bolts will be).

I have to take out the angle gear, if that was out of the way would it make it easier? I was going to possible do the turbo drian seals also.

I prefer to work from the top of the car rather than on my back or on a creeper, not sure if the angle gear removal would help much. There is a reallllllly good write up linked above def. check that out.

Not really. I don't believe it's near the angle gear. You can just remove the CBV and put a blockoff plate and install a BOV if you like.

Thanks for the link Ions. That answered most of my questions.

Removing the transmission makes the job cake not so much the angle gear

I did the CBV upgrade and put in the Snabb intake pipe at the same time, kind of a PITA, but do-able if you're comfortable working on your caR (and don't mind lying across the engine bay to access it). I recommend reading through the CBV install thread before attempting it. Also, to find anything via search you'll need to use the Google search method e.g. "site:forums.swedespeed.com CBV upgrade", works much better.

...or just go to IPD....oh wait, they closed their shop.....:thumbdown:

I have just over 50K on my 07SR and am wondering if I need to do this also?

I'd put other things higher on the mod list. Getting your caR to a "stage 2" setup is highly desirable - they perform so much better with a proper tune, FMIC, and DP/exhaust. Not to mention some track-spec sways and springs. Granted these things are more expensive than a CBV, but well worth it.

I did the CBV upgrade a while ago, and yea it was a pain without removing the turbo, it its doable if you have patience.

That is unless their stock unit is leaking. The stock setup is dumb with the entire unit being rubber.

I installed CBV ,SNABB and new vac lines at same time. It took about 2hrs. I don't know why everyone on here crys about it so much.

I was reading on Matt's that CBV's are rarely in need of replacement.
I don't know the validity of this statement but that and the PIA nature of
the mod made me reconsider the upgrade.
I also have an LPT so I thought it wouldn't be as important an upgrade.

I think that this will be the next thing I do to my car, however I am really dreading it and dont want to have to mess with the wastegate. anyone in the CT with experience doing it?

Me and my buddy up here did ours. No need to remove Wastegate
