That Odyssey was overrated on the power. More like 800ish. A lot of Bisi's "builds" are hyped up.
Any given sunday, any given dyno... It's still pretty cool and it still got smoked on "Fastest Car" ?

The guy who ran the video stated clearly that he was "out to disprove the mith" ... He stated that "already knew that" at some point. The video is probably in the pocket of turbo smart. LOL ... I give the video an F for fake news but the BOV plate an A plus. A true test identifies the issue then puts forth a hypothisis and the the test begins independent and in biased.

I'm still curious why Turbosmart doesn't list this BOV as being compatable with the 1.5t anymore. The sale listings on Edge and MAP still do o_O

Bishi has a Honda that he build and test drove by Leno, I think. Surprised to see the dude using the BOV and claimed that it's safe.
Ya. He's had a couple things on Leno

Something else bothers me ... Honda I would like a donor car to test what forum members describe as TOXIC! Sure .... Here you go ... Take this one and add parts that are bad. ???? Magically on the dyno ... The car is a factory freak. This guy probably had gold chips in his can at the end of the rainbow... LOL

Guys do what the f$&k you want. Choose to either respect what actual long term 10th gen folks have experienced or not. Make your educated choice and if you do go BOV and have issues down the road like needing a new cat or other engine related funkiness, contact Bisi, he'll take care of you. :cool:

@gtman Maybe it's time to do a poll? For example (sorry for my not so good english):

  1. Yes, I have a BOV and it runs without any problems. (please comment model/year/BOV brand and model)
  2. Yes, I have/had a BOV but caused me issues. (please comment model/year/BOV brand and model)
  3. Yes, I have a BOV but IDK if it's causing any trouble or not. (please comment model/year/BOV brand and model)
  4. No, I haven't and won't run one.

Now I’m gonna have to work even harder to convince people this shit is a bad idea. It’s the most simple thing ever to explain why it isn’t a good idea, it doesn’t need dyno testing.
