What Would You Get? A Greddy Type-S BOV Or 3 Inch Exuast System

Greddy Type-S BOV Or a Custom exuast Meaning Not name brand, but you do get name brand muffler. what would u guys choose?

BOV is one of the last things I usually get... but I only deal with 1G's and their BOV's can handle a bit more boost than the 2G BOV's... The exhaust will help your turbo spool up faster, while an aftermarket BOV will help keep the turbo spooled during shifts... Performance wise... I say 3 inch exhaust first... Even though I hate the noise a 4 cylinder makes with exhaust... it's the price I pay for performance

really obvious the exhaust will make the car run better and you will get more horsepower.... then a blow off valve... BOV is last on my mind. good luck with your car

Why exactly do you want a Greddy Type-S BOV?

 

[oldman]

Actually, BOV is one of the first mods for 2Gs. My vote is on a 1G BOV and exhaust at the same time.

Exactly. I dont know why he has his heart set on a Greddy Type-S, when a crushed 1G would do fine, and he'd still have enough for the exhaust.

I didn't even notice it was a 2g. Bruce, you are correct. On a 2g, the BOV is one of the first, if not the first mod that needs to be done. The stock 2g BOV's have a plastic base and leak at more than 12psi, which is not good. However the 1G upgrade BOV is fairly cheap so that upgrade and the 3" ex. could still be done at the same time.

Exhaust first.

I would do the BOV next time but also get a manual boost contoller to get the most out of it. The stock 2G BOV is good for now UNTIL you turn up the boost. At over 14 PSI it will start leaking.

duh! The type s has a sweet whistle!

Like Dan said, it's more like 12psi at best, I have help many with it leaking at around 8psi. TheRealist, hopefully you already have a aftermarket boost gauge as both bov and exhaust will change boost characteristics.

SSAC o2 housing, MEgan racing downpipe along with their 3" exhaust

and while your at it, pick up a 1g BOV for $40
