Dude that is some ricer theory!

 

lol...

 

richer is better? Now that can simply not be argued.
Running rich is better than running lean, but a rich condition for prolonged periods is not good. lessee... fouled plugs, plugged cat, carbed ignition chamber, dead O2 sensors, dead MAF... and of course all this leads to bad performance, efficiency...

Of course, it all depends on just how rich you run. The car can handle a range in either direction without many effects. I had this neighbor that lives in my same building. He ran a bov on his A4 for about 2 years. He was persistent and loyal to the core for bovs. Then one day his front O2 sensor went. about 2 weeks later his maf was bad. Then to put the icing on the cake a couple days after that he told me he replaced his cat cuz it smelled like rotten eggs and the car was bogging. I believe his car had close to 50K miles on it.

The only time you should run a bov on an A4 is if you have a custom setup that is designed for a bov.

and David - I am not going to stop bashing BOVs simply because you have one. If a noob asks my opinion I will give it, but of course I do not bash people. Once someone makes up their mind, so be it.

 

out on a limb [sm=lol.gif]
doesn't it make sense though?

 

i dont see how venting pressurized air into the atmosphere is considered ricey

 

Rice = superficial mods that are only to make you look cool to your friends/opponents.

And I was referring to his logic as ricer theory.

 

so e-codes are rice. compass mirror and such

and do you not think that my car is cool just cuz i run a bov?

 

explain. what makes my theory actually wrong? i'm not challenging to be an ***, i'm here to learn

 

quit bitching
