Blow off not plumb back? (return hose not going to intake)
Wheels too big?
Engine convesion modplated?
Etc.

i dont understand why a BOV can be defectable if its not plumb back.  its not going to release  that much "bad" gas and some are pretty quiet.  i can understand if it's one of those "sonic" things that sounds like a jet.

They just stress/whinge cos there is more emissions being let out of your car than there was when it was stock.

WA has some stupid laws pertaining to exhaust.

It comes down to like 2 things

1) You can have ANY exhaust system you want
2) I can not be considerably louder than stock

!!! I mean sh*t, I could fart as a cop went past and they could say the exhaust was too loud. I wish there was an actual set limit hmm

Engineers cert's mean nothing.

Any car can be pulled up, and defected. Even if the owner says it's stock.

In NSW (and im sure most other states) it's not up to police to prove your car is legal, it's up to you. Police issue you the defect, to go to a certified authority to clear the defect thus proving it is roadworthy.

And no, certificates don't mean your car is legal to police, you can still cop the defect.

Attitude always helps.

So when you ask the Q of whether your car is defectable or not, the answer MUST be yes, because it is, end of story.

:yes2:

haha, just me personally with mates, defects are for Bombs and not is for what is under the bonnet.
i don't know if this is Tas as a whole, but all my mates get done for body stuff...
and of course if the car does sound like a jet coming for landing... between gears.

BOV's are a problem because they don't just let the air out into the atmosphere, the mixture is also affected which does two things. Firstly it changes your A/F ratio for that short amount of time, which in turn causes more unburnt fuel to exiti said engine and cause more pollution.

There really isn't any reason to vent externally, only noise.

Sorry, and one other thing, personal imports are different when it comes to ADR's also, whilst I have never tested the theory with my Legacy, the ADR's that imports need to comply with are mostly safety related, except for exhaust from memory.

Happy to be proven wrong here, but this is what I believe from a few difference sources.

afaik the atmo bov causes problems coz your car believes the air the maf has metered is still in your intake and it dumps fuel in for it, becuase the air is not there you get an incomplete burn, hence the black smoke and POP sound when changing gears with a maf sensed car with atmo bov...
