Which BOV? [Merged 3-8] what bov best bov

[Batgirl]

I am looking at replacing my BOV. I was looking at the Greddy XS, but I seem to be seeing people with Greddy problems aplenty. What BOV do you like? Why?

Also, what is a safe PSI for a stock turbo? I hear rumors that anything beyond 14 will raise hell on the engine.

Thanks for your help!

If it helps, I have the HKS SSQV knock off. Holds 18psi fine on the small 16g. Being an auto, I don't actually use the bov that much though.

i also have the SSQV and i love it..before that i had a sotock 1g and a turbo xs RFL and im more happy with the SSQV..i would spend the extra money and go with it ..it's worth it

Those BOV's on ebay are fake. They are rip-off's and are known to be bad. I would suggst a real Type RS. Good bov, holds a lot, doesn't leak, but no good BOV is going to cost 100 or less unless it is used. At this stage you would probably be best off keeping your 1g and spending the money elsewhere.

You have no idea what you're talking about.
They're not perfect but do some research, theres a huge thread about thrm and the concensus is they're worth every penny.

Ok i have a 90 GSX 3" exhaust no cats, 3" intake, Data logger, Fuel Pump Rewire, and have done all the freebies. I know that the OEM BOV is very good, but im wanting to start modding this thing now. So as of now i have the stock UICP but i have a hard UICP. im wanting to get another BOV but not wanting to crush the OEM. Ive been reading a lot between the Greddy type S and Type RS. I also find these both on ebay for like 60 new shipped but im kinda worried about what they are going to send me. im not wanting to spend anything over like $100 so is there a such BOV? and also how easy is the install? Thanx

With your mods you shouldn't need to upgrade your BOV. I would spend that money on something more worthwhile. Why don't you want to crush it? How about just doing the dodge garage mod on it? Its simple enough.

ive heard good and bad reviews from the ebay knock offs...

 

[toomey200]

id go with a greddy type S. my friends has that on his 2g with a 6bolt and hes running 25lbs of boost and it holds up really well. if you have the money to spend and are pusing 25+ lbs id buy a tial they are good for up to 90psi and sound amazing.

Any bov that you will recirculate. Do a search, bovs have been discussed many times, as for EBAY ones, for what you pay they work to a certain extent, instead. Do a search and you will see big threads on them.

I have a Turbo xs blow off valve that I got brand new fore 169.00 I think it performs very well

and I haven't had any problems with it. I would definatley check those out.

I have the hahn stage 2 turbo kit on my 97 mits eclipse gs and would like to upgrade from the bov that was included in the kit. i like the sound of the HKS ssqv bov and plan on turning up the boost to around 25 psi within the next year after i rebuild my engine. is there a bov that would be able to fit on my application that is able to run adequatly at both high and low boost levels? and what kit would i have to buy in order to make it work with the hahn kit? the only one hahn even offers is the Greddy XS bov that they charge 265$ for. I feel that is overpriced and plus i dont neccissarily even like the blow off sound it makes. any opinions appreciated

 

[94Jettameowpsst]

265 for a bov?!?

A tial is 220 and probably the best one you could possibly use!

 

[lilbayz311]

i know huh. thats with the flange kit but still. hahn is pretty pricey. how do tials work running on low boost though? and how do they sound?

 

[94Jettameowpsst]

Tials are 220 with a flange too....

I never had a problem with it not opening at low boost......i mean 8-10 psi and above that it wont leak ever at all because its a pull type bov

I dont remember where the videos are on this site with Tial bovs, but just search the video page and you'll run across more than a few

It sorta sounds like saying Jew in a higher pitch voice......true story haha

 

[94Jettameowpsst]

This isnt my car, but it has a tial on it

Call and ask for Shawn if youd like to speak with someone in person, tell him LJ sent you

Now that my friend has come to the conclusion that his Blitz bov is leaking boost when it is closed, what kind of bov should he get now? I was telling him tial.

 

[turbodsm_125]

personally i would get a tial or hks bov.

 

[Avionixx]

Another vote for the HKS as well, sounds awesome and holds 20psi easily. The only real downside to it is its size; it's huge!

 

[spinninfwdlaser]

I love the Tial. Not a big HKS SSQBOV fan, sounds like a wet queef to me. But many people do like it.
I had a Greddy type S ebay knockoff, loved it, and it worked properly.

 

[talonalex92]

eihter a 1g or tial. maybe even one of them new synchronic ones.

 

[hdoerr]

Yeah the TIAL blow off is very low profile and a good product.

 

[turbosax2]

Tial ftw (but only if you can properly vent it!!) Or wait for the release of the Alpha Q.

 

[wishnfor4g63T]

I still can't get over how the Greddy type S sounds. It's what i think when someone says i have a turbo car.

I have a Greddy type RS and it sounds close to a HKS SSQ even recirculated. The high flow filter definitly helped to make it louder!

 

[1992awdlaser]

The new Tial bov is what I will be getting.

 

[blownturbotsi]

I currently have the Apexi Twin Chamber and I am looking in to the Syncronic as well. I have a surging issue.
