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!

Get the hks and be done with it. Great sound and performance. You get what you pay for.

I think it is a great idea to waste money on a part that fulfills the job no better than a stock 1g BOV with the Dejon Tool Leak Stop Mod. *sigh*

The Dejon Tool Leak stop mod 1g BOV holds 30psi, and is the thing to have.

My car came with the Greddy bov already on it and it has never failed me, I like the way it sounds too.

I bought an HKS and it's awesome and completely worth the money. They sound and perform amazing. Just because some of you took the cheap route doesn't mean a HKS is a waste of money.

I run a 1g and the doge mod on it. Cheap and effective.

DDG- Talon BOV mod for HIGH BOOST

Yup ill be running one on my car aswell. I know alot of ppl that are running this mod and not one of them have had a problem with holding boost or having any leaking problems.

+1 for the DG modded 1g BOV. This is proven and inexpensive. With the money you save, now you can get more parts.

I am expecting to be buying a BOV very soon and wondered which one i should buy? Im one of those people who wants to get the most power out of my car no matter what it costs so please tell me some of the best and looks the cleanest,like i was thinking about HKS ssq Bov

I like the forge BOV. It's a very good design and you get a couple different springs for different pressure ratings.

 

[fergulus]

I've had the HSK SSQV on my Talon for close to a year now, and it's held up to 30psi without leaking for me. It's also great for both low pressure blow-offs as well as high pressure. Make sure you get the recirculation kit!!!! It will only hurt your performance if you do not, as you can search on here and find dozens of BOV threads about it.

 

[spawn87]

well its all really personal preference. me for example ive had hks and greddy (type s) and they are both great bov. but i would lean more towards the hks its a design made to last longer.

as for power they dont really have anything to do with that they are more of a safety mechanism so you dont get compressor surge.

depending on your goals you might want to just get a 1st gen bov and use the rest of the money on hard intercooler piping or MBC, DP, and or intake.

what ever you choose always remember to make sure you recirculate the bov back to the intake. (greddy and hks have complete kits for our cars.)

Tial all the way this blowoff will never leak.

 

[CHPerformance]

i like the tial..thats the one i had on my first talon..im looking for one to put on my 2g now..tial all the way.

 

[CHPerformance]

i would go with the tial the blue 1000hp k-series civic from cft has that one

 

[rEclipserGST]

+1 on the TIAL bov. But if your looking to just upgrade and still add performance, 1g bov with a leak stop kit all the way. Otherwise, spend $150 elsewhere.

 

[gsxtasy]

Seeing as you can't recirculate a Tial, unless you buy that new 'alpha q', I wouldn't use one on a stock MAF car.

 

[misterskeetz]

Forge.

 

[the_mork]

I'm a fan of my Forge as well. Fits on a 1g bov flange, looks pretty good and is as good as anything else that you can buy.

 

[Rockbmx1]

Tial all the way. I've had one for a couple years now and have had no problems with it at all. It's very simple and you will never get compressor surge, cause they flow like a mofo.

 

[CHPerformance]

+1^^

 

[Wicked_Sick]

I like my HKS ssq but pretty much any name brand one you get will do the trick, make sure to get one that can recirculate though.

 

[Silent1ga]

Any one here try the synapse BOV? Or know some one who has?

 

[AWD-TSI]

+1 on the Synapses or syncronic same thing. love this thing

 

[RayBan GST]

MITSUBISHI MR BOV METAL OUT OF EVO 9 is WOW

 

[tnl]

greddy!!!!

everyone has there opinion and whats good and whats not. just because some hates it doesnt mean its bad..

 

[dsmfa9nutter]

Another synapse synchronic user here. Love it. Response time is super fast and no diaphragm to wear out/cause slow openings like other bov's out there.
