Installed the BMS BOV adapter after buying all necessary barbs to use with 6mm hose that fits on my TiAL BOV barb and the Vader Solutions BOV adapter.
Results: BMS BOV adapter yielded 1.5 to 2x slower transient response. More pedal input was needed to activate BOV, whereas Vader Solutions BOV Adapter activates the BOV as the slightest pedal input. I would guesstimate 10-15% more pedal input needed for BOV to activate when using the BMS adapter.
Also, more importantly, the BMS BOV adapter connected directly to the throttle body would result in engine detonation and violent backfiring after 10-15mins of highway driving. So much so, I had to pull over repeatedly to reset faults so I could drive home. I thought this there was something wrong with my engine so I switched back to the Vader Solutions kit and test drove...nothing wrong. So switched back to BMS kit...detonation. I did this 4x to be sure. Nothing on the car was changed. Only the BMS and Vader kit were changed.
So it appears my car does not like the BMS adapter wired directly to the throttle body. Additionally, after this episode, I found the car began to misfire on #4 cylinder, only on idle and Park Position. So I inspected plugs and found the #4 plug had a cracked insulator collar. See photo. I suspect this damage was from the super loud and violent explosions I experienced on the test drive.
I would be interested to see if anyone else has had any remotely similar performance issue when using this kit. Or anyone notice any performance increase or decrease.
After changing out all the plugs, which were super clean considering they been on the engine since port injection was installed and flex fuel e85 used... the car is silky and powerful in all situations, all gears. Zero issues. Response on Vader kit is still exceptionally better than stock location and better than BMS kit.
I do not know if this result will happen to every single user of the BMS kit, this review only pertains to my set up.
