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!

I am looking for some advice on a blow off valve upgrade. I have a pretty decent vacuum leak, assuming it's that stock BOV. I think I'm going to invest in hard pipes also. But I still have that stock T-25 so I'm looking for a replacement BOV that will fit similarly to the stock one. Advice appreciated, thanks.

You stated that you are investing on hard pipes. If you just upgrading the stock pipes to stock location and you buy something like this:

STOCK SIDEMOUNT INTERCOOLER PIPE KIT: 1995-99 ECLIPSE/TALON - Punishment Racing

Its comes flanged for the 1g or GReddy BOV. I am sure you can call a company like punishment and have them replace the flange for whatever BOV you want for a charge.

Ive got a Greddy Type R on one car, Blitz on another, and a HKS on my bike .... diversify people!

 

[harrison_gst]

turbo smart flanged to my stock ic pipe and sounds awsome. perfect for someone without hardpipes

Looking for a good but cheap 1g style bov, I have hard piping from my intercooler to the TB and believe the 1g is a "Type S" Flange. Whats a good but cheap BOV that anybody has had luck with? Mine is starting to whistle when I let off at times and it was crushed before I bought the car and never seemed to have issues.

The flange is SIMILAR to the point where if the flange is a 1g flange all you have to is drill new holes, and they don't even interfere with stock holes.

You can get a working 1g BOV on here for below 30 dollars most of the time. Just look on the classifieds.

I personally think the Type-S is shit compared to a properly modified 1g BOV (Crushed or Dodge Garage Mod)

Also what do you mean by "whistle"? Can you possibly post a video? Hearing it will help diagnose the issue.

 

[Kod]

Its in the BOV cause even in park you can hear it when you rev it enough, + i think it may be opening early too because it will hit 12 - 14 psi then just slowly loose it and my other boost leaks I have fixed.

Also just running the 14b.

Dont waste your money on a type s! I got rid of mine a couple months after running it and went with a dodge modded 1g bov. It holds 45 psi during a BLT no problem. Hell, even a crushed 1g BOV holds 25-30 psi...

 

[Bmxr152]

i as well have a modded 1g bov with no issues. evo 9 bovs are pretty good too

 

[Bud92gsx]

Dont mod your stock flange to accept the greddy bov.

Stick with the 1g..The reason you cannot hear it in park is because the car is an auto..A load has to be put on the engine for it to properly "blow off".

Dont mod your stock flange to accept the greddy bov.

Stick with the 1g.

+1 a modded 1g BOV is the most reliable and capable BOV until you need more flow which then you might as well get a good one like a Tial Q.

 

[Kod]

Looking for a replacement just because as I said I think its def opening early.. just trying to figure out a cheap solution because i am broke atm and its my DD.

 

[1990AWD]

Have you crushed it or dodge-garage modded it? Mine was leaking at ~15psi, modded it, and haven't had a problem since up to 22-24 psi.

Btw, modding it is free, just need a vice and some JB weld.

 

[Colt4G63 also]

My 1g valve is dodge modded and crushed, but it still seems to blow open slightly above 30psi.

Newbie ? But whats best way to go about crushing it the correct way / dodge modding it? Think mine is crushed but not 100% on it.

Dodge Mod DDG- Talon BOV mod for HIGH BOOST

To crush it, you put in in a bench vise and crush the top "hat" toward the bottom flange. Don't crush it past where the nipple hits the body and sits straight. If you crush it too much, the end of the nipple starts to point upward.

Tial 50mm Q BOV
Best out there i would say

I Like my Synapse BOV
Had a crushed 1g this is much better.

I ran a TurboXS RFL on my last set-up. Didn't have any problems with it persay; I did have to jam the entire amount of washers given in it to keep it from cracking open and leaking under high boost but once I did that it worked without issue. I am restarting the rebuild on my setup and am going to go with the Tial 50mm BOV on this next setup.

 

[silversgst]

I had 3. HKS, Greddy rs, and the NRG. NRG is by far the best bang for your buck. Had mine for over 1.5 yrs. holds 30psi no problem and sounds pretty cool. Its almost like a greddy type s but more improved.

 

[99GS_Turbo]

I had the Greddy which sucked due to boost leaks like crazy and now I'm using the NRG. So far the NRG hasn't given me any problems

 

[gsxnate99]

Tial! FTW. You don't see any high hp cars running anything less

 

[golf12321]

Ok I have a greddy s and a blitz dd BOV im putting it on my 1g im venting out and want to push 18 to 20 psi so I want to know which one will work better?
Thanks

 

[nfernotalon]

Greddys tend to leak Id go with the blitz either way youll have to recirculate it back to the intake unless you have a translator or ecmlink.

 

[DSM_love_GST]

I heard blitz is pretty bad as well

Crush a 1g bov.
