You should read the thread atleast before you reply to a comment. If you don't know alot of cars with big turbos well you two blowoff valves to prevent any shock waves from going back against the compressor wheel.

My favorite is when I boost down the street with my head out my window. Then I can scream "PSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" everytime I shift. Tough to do in a helmet though so you might need a megaphone.

My girl does that when I ride with her in her Camry.

You should learn to type before you reply to a comment . I've seen some huge turbo setups but never two bov's

Well alot of trees fall in the forest but I've never heard one? I guess they dont make a sound! Its common scence that if you start flowing more air eventually a 28-30mm valve in a short time is not going to be able to vent all that pressure between a shift. Common scence is not so common, thats why most big turbo cars have large valves like godzilla, greedy, tial etc..

does the ssbv sound similar too the type-s but with a deeper sound?i know the turbo xs rfl sounds great, but i kinda like the little high pitched noise at the same time. what sounds better out of the 2?

 

[XTurboSpYderX]

I like the crisp sound of the turboXS valves...

yes... the HKS (when vented) sounds like minnie mouse sneezing... so if you like that high piched fluttery chirp... then the HKS is kewl... I think it sounds kinda fruity... but that's just me...

1g bov's leak at idle. if it wasnt leaking, then it would be time for a new one. 1g bov is actually a cbv, not a bov. and the 1g cbv HATES to be vented.

They will not leak, and will hold 25+psi if you do the high boost mod(not crushing). Here is the link that describes the procedure.

However, you shouldnt even be thinking of venting it unless you are able to... THE CORRECT WAY! Even recieculated, this mod will help. Once again, only 2 valves I would ever use. The 1G CBV,(for those that have to recirc) and the TIAL, (for those that can vent).

HKS SSQ right here

Dejon tool also offers a similar type mod to the 1g CBV. I had a 1g CBV and it wouldn't hold anything past 18psi for crap. Although I have seen several stock un-crushed 1g CBV's hold 22psi, without any crushing or modding. My GReddy Type-S solved all my leaking problems and it works flawlessly. I agree, TIAL's are great also, along with there external wastegates.

The "Minnie Mouse" sound is only on mostly stock cars running low CFM(not PSI). MY HKS SSQ got a hell of a lot louder when I put on my FMIC and pipes and I started running a larger turbo. If you put my car and a stock one next to each other with the same valves the sound would be totaly different. My valve (when at high boost) sounds similar to the Tial that my friend was running. The HKS is a great valve because it uses two springs. One spring is for low boost when at low RPMs (sounds like fluttering) and a large spring for high boost (sounds mean as hell). If you don"t like the sound of the valve you can either change the insert for a higher or lower sound or recirculate.

ill probably be usin my ig BOV for as long as i have my dsm. it does its job rite.

 

[alltrac]

i have a HKS super bov , non seq Sounds great...push/pull type still, but it looks crappy under the hood

my friend has a greddy type R sounds great under high boost

Btw i see lots of duel BOV setups, probably more then single bov setups

Turbo XS H34. When I roll with my two buddies that both have Greddy Type S valves the H34 just drowns them out. That and the Type S sounds like a high-pitched kazoo....Holds 21 psi great and is louder than a MF recirc'd. Not big on how it looks but you gotta give somewhere.

I've stuck with the stock 1G valve and the Dejon leak stopper kit. Small 16G spools to 22psi much faster than before

 

[cait sith]

I have a a saxaphone hooked up to my blow off valve. It's mad pimp yo, because all that matters is how loud my BOV is. All the chicks down at the local Dairy Queen want me when I make my car sound like it's a big rig's air brakes.

 

[Lord Khan]

Greddy Type-S

Very loud for a recirculated BOV. I guess I like it the most cause it fits my Greddy IC Pipes without modding.

 

[BOMEX DSM]

I have a TiAL and flows much better than any valve ive tested(HKS, GReddy, 2G and 1G) Its a great quality valve that comes with its own flange and everything ready to go. Its not the lowdest thing with the T25 but now it sounds close to what a recirculated Type S sounds like. If i ever want a loud sound again i might change as far as right now all i care is for performance so im stayin wtih the TiAL.
