Some just convert the stock BPV to a BOV by venting to atmosphere (VTA) by removing the hose and the only replacement for the stock one is the Turbosx sml.Im new to turbo upgrades and seeing a lot of threads showing BPV to BOV. Two questions, is that a fairly straightforward installation? and what make is recommended for my Forte 5 sxt?
Honestly, until you start running higher boost levels than stock, there's really no need to replace the BPV. The problem with the stock one is that higher boost levels (and eventually time) will cause the diaphragm to tear and you'll leak boost through the BPV. I'd put it in your mod plans, but I wouldn't make it anywhere close to my first mods. If you're thinking of doing a FMIC down the road, that would be the ideal time to switch to a regular BOV.I just checked their site and didnt see an application for the 2015 forte5 sxt what am I missing?
A better bov will help regardless of boost levels. It will be more crisp and responsive then the stock one and is way more reliable. I have seen to many pictures of our stock bpv getting tears within a few thousand miles or even less. For peace of mind it's a good upgrade to get so there is no worry about leaks there.Honestly, until you start running higher boost levels than stock, there's really no need to replace the BPV.

Those are great points. Perhaps what I should have said instead was: IMO, a BOV shouldn't be your first mod (or one of your first mods). There's MUCH more bang for the buck from an intake, exhaust, etc. And let's just be honest here: the majority of the reason many people want to switch to a BOV is the sound, not so much the increased performance.A better bov will help regardless of boost levels.

I noticed with mine even just doing half throttle runs my boost doesn't fluctuate like it did with the stock one. If you have the cash to do it go for it so you have peace of mind that your stock bpv isn't leaking or will get a tear.
It is a very tight fit. Mine I had to tear apart the bov to get and turn the top of it so it would clean the hood release cable bracket and to let me hook the bracket back up to the i.cwhat modification if any are need to fit the Turbo sx sml bov to our car.. like moving supports or parts around.. it seems like a tight fit..
It won't mess up any readings since there is no MAFWill changing the bpv to a bov mess up the reading of air that the car has read to go back into the intake?
Okay sweet!! Any recommendations on which bov to go with first?It won't mess up any readings since there is no MAF
