the trd supercharger comes with a bosch 102bpv. i thought maybe i was just being retarded and took out the stock bpv and put the same one back in.

ive heard about 6 people say that this new bpv is nothing but good stuff --- im prob gonna get my supercharger in april then get the bpv in another few months - i wanna get boosted then upgrade after I get used to the power - that way i can feel the difference

it's actually really good that they've been using a bosch bpv-that way, they can never really give u a problem about changing it. i doubt the service depts really know that it's a 102 stock, and people changed it to a 110. realistically, changing the bpv shouldn't be an issue at all, but who knows how the service people and scion/toyota will look at it. the whole point of getting the sc was the fact it had the warranty. i don't wanna deal with them trying to give me crap about changing anything.

the only way they would know was if they checked the part number. and then its only 2 number different. *stock ends in 02, the new one ends in 10), and then even if they checked the number the mechanic would have to know what the stock number was.

Do you think they are going to go to every part on the car and check the part number against the booklet?

(i guess they could, but sounds doubtful)

thats what i said before

now that i got my header and spipe.

thats what im thinking again. stop modding think about warranty.

but o wells, i kno ima end up swapping out the bpv for a turboxs instead since nobody has tried it yet.

This is quite an informative site ( thanks again motozen for the tips ). We recently added the sc to my wife's car; unfortunately it was installed on same day as a snow storm so we've had only limited days to go out and run this thing. For her/us, it's more important at this point just to get the most fun for the buck. The valve sounds like a great change to make; as it should be something you can feel every day on the street. We also are looking into some of these other mods posted on this site ( pulley, etc ) but do keep warranty in consideration. If raw hp was the desire, she would have chosen another car; but this one fit the all around bill for her, plus gets us options to have some fun working with it and still keeping it affordable. I'd be interested to see what trd comes up with for add-ons that build more power, yet still keep us covered ( no reason they won't jump into the fray on this--they'd still like to get the sales ).
Heck, i'm just glad my wife enjoys her car ( she already had cosmetic/audio/exhaust upgrades done to her TC ) so i can have my toy and still goof around in hers once in awhile....

sorry for the ramblin' post; just an ol' gearhead still learning this stuff.

when i mentioned the bpv looking exactly like stock, i meant that it was good for the bosch 110 to look exactly alike, because other valves like the forge007 come in silver rather than black, and right now they don't have any-so i ended up getting a polished one rather than waiting weeks for the black one to come thru. not only that, but the forge black valve looks kinda shiny from pics i've seen of it, not the same dull black the bosche looks like. most service guys won't know the diff, but some will-two of the service guys from penn scion both have the trd sc and mod their cars, and also check forums for info. if they know, that means other people in their service dept know. they probably would never really give u a prob about changing the bpv, but they could if they felt like being jerkoffs about it. i care about the warranty-that was one of the main reasons in getting the sc, so just in case-i'd like to not deal with warranty bs for a lil bpv. when i go in for service i'm gonna change out the forge since it's silver.

Alright, I'm gonna do it...I'm gonna ask a stupid question...

What the heck is a BPV and what does it do?? And the numbers you're talking about (100, 102) what do those mean?? And...last question...how much does one of these upgrades cost??

I'm just trying to learn before the auto s/c comes out, I want to be a little knowledgeble, lol!!
