In the market for a bov

[Deuce_three]

I was planning on buying the hks ssqv since my freind gave me a flange that would directly bolt on to my stock pos uicp. I also found out that the ssqv im getting tends to flutter when I recirculate it from what ive heard. So im leaning towards buying a greddy type rs recirc. Does the greddy type rs work with my stock boost lvl? Also, will it flutter when i recirculate it?


PS: Ive read a couple post that is similar to mine but does not give me the direct answer i needed.

yes it does flutter...it will work with stock boost....not a direct fit though...1st hand exp

do you plan to upgrade the turbo?

 

[Deuce_three]

yeah. my freind has a used big 16g turbo im gonna buy off of him.

 

[KPEclipse]

well then unless ## hellbent on putting that bov on RIGHT NOW...id just keep the ssqv, and do the bov and intercooler and pipes all at one time. then when the boost is turned up pretty good, you should see very little if any fluttering

I think you are over thinking it. I would stick with the rs recirculated. You will be fine. Nothing to stress over

i second that...tbh i like the fluttering

my type s flutters - i dont mind it...and only because its set for 28lbs and sometimes i shift well before max boost...its no problem as long as its not causing comp surge

but still...if i could start over, and i was in his shoes...id get a FMIC kit, and put the bov on then

or at least change the uicp with an rs or ssqv flange on it...since he could reuse it if he decides to upgrade the ic later on

 

[KPEclipse]

yeah but, when he goes from smic to fmic, he'll ###### want short route piping to clean up the piping maze...why buy twice?

my advice - save the bov, get an ETS(or similar) FMIC kit with flange, get the turbo, and put it all on at once.

Go with the type S, I have had both the rs and s and I much prefer the type s. Its a little harder to find a nice used one for a decent price, but you will be happy with it. It sounds amazing, and holds a good amount of boost.

 

[KPEclipse]

ive had both on the car as well...i went from a type s to a type R to a type RS, you can see in my profile what i went back to

well i do need a brand new bov since my stock pos broke down. im currently using a mini van to get around because i dont want anymore damage done to my car.. so a quick but good replacement for me would be to buy a better one. i dont have ssqv bov, only the bolt on flange for it. So im leaning towards buying the type rs, bolt it on stock boost for now. and then later replacing my whole ic+turbo setup (when i have the money of course).

 

[jram53]

if your gonna do that and your planning on routing the ic through the stock location (the one you get down the road) you might also want to get a uicp like i stated earlier that way you wont need to touch the uicp again

I went with the type rs some people have had problems with them but mine's go to good.
