I ordered a set of Agency Power BRV's from Vivid tuesday and I plan to install them this weekend. Besides having to put them together before install, is there anything special I need to do while im installing them on the turbos?
This is my first turbo car and I want to do everything correct the first time around.

 

Make sure you you follow the assembly instruction correctly else they will leak.

 

just installed them a few days ago, pretty easy to do, do a search with BRV in the title and you will see a thread by Dan from vivid explaining how to put the valves together. Then its really just a matter of taking out the old ones and putting in the new ones. about 15 min for passenger side, about 30 min for driver side due to location being a bit of a pain to reach and also removal of driver rear wheel

 

Thank you!

 

Let me know if you have any other questions, Ill gladly help

 

What advantage do aftermarket BRVs provide over stock?

 

dino .. did you install the 50-50 valves?? the ones that half vent to atmosphere...

Thought those were only possible on the 996tt

 

Hi!
Please tell us if you feel some difference before/after...

 

sorry i did not even know they werent possible on a 997... you may be right sir

 

David - the stock BRV's can leak/tear if you are running higher HPs. I replaced them on my Cayenne Turbo and 997TT.

 

Believe it or not I was a bit skeptical at first. I have a softronic tune and full fabspeed exhaust. The car hauls a$$ and when your in 2nd at 4k it just slingshots.

After installing the brv's I noticed that slingshot feeling disappeared which got me a bit worried. I decided to give it a few days to get used to it and if I didnt like it, it was an easy change to go back to the stock brv's.

The other thing I noticed, is that between shifts, the car held the boost so that when I upshifted I was already on the gas and moving, it gave it the feeling as if I never let off the gas when shifting (if that is clearer).

All in all, I am quite happy with this little mod and would recommend it to others.

 

I dont understand. it sounds like you are saying that it reduced how hard your turbos hit. yet, you're happy with it?

 

it gave it a more linear feel and also the biggest benefit from my perspective was the boost staying up during shifts.

 

I am by no means an expert. But, what you describe to me sounds like a leaky valve.
