BOV selection.

[VooDoo]

Now I have read BOV 101 and Im not really looking for all the clutter. What I want to know is this. I am running a FFIM with 3" I/C piping hot & cold. I will run daily 15 psi and run as high as my setup will allow at track. Turbo is a Turbonetics T78. I want a BOV that will hold up. I am interested in the TIAL or Blitz. Any suggestions? I have seen some guys running 2. Any specific reason for this?

tial

Tial or greddy type r both allow a lot of pressure release

Ive had my eye on The Tial. Just want to make sure that they are what the hype claims.

 

[barkz]

have yet to hear anything bad about them

Tial are the best IMO.. and to be clear, I was tempted to write that as fact.

I run a Tial Q and have no complaints, if you're still running stock air metering it would be best to get the recirculating type.

 

[VooDoo]

Not much stock on my car. I plan on going with the tial. Found one for a good price here but cant get a response from him.

Is the Tial bov, loud?

 

[VooDoo]

Do a youtube search and hear for your self. To some people loud is different from others.

 

[Emilian]

I did and each video is different. Some clips are loud and some you can't even hear it. Which is why I'm asking you guys for an opinion.

 

[Cz.]

A much larger part of how loud, in terms of decibels, a bov is about actual location and (generally) the psi at which the valve opened up in the video, not so much the bov itself.
In my opinion the tial sound isn't particularly unique, I don't think they focused on creating a unique sound (which is where bov's differ) when they made it instead they focused on making something that works well.

Personally I'd be more concerned with it's function than how it sounds but I guess that's just me, the Tial is a very well made part that should give many years service, I'd swap out the small Pressure fitting and give it a larger I'd supply so you can get a good volume of boost pressure to it to aid in keeping it closed on boost, this will slightly delay it's opening but not enough to cause issues.

^ if you really want sound go with TurboXS RFL, or TurboSmarts MegaSonic. if you want one that you wont have to replace every other week, get a tial, or the HKS kit(real, not ebay). Either way, with our cars running MAF if you dont recirc you will have rich spots between shifts, and may have stalling issues. but if you just want sound then go with the RFL (really fuckin loud).

 

[Dylan JZ]

yeah, the RFL is a pretty interesting valve, but the ones I had contact with always seemed to leak etc..

+1 on the recirc though (for MAF based systems)

 

[IJ.]

Ohhh I thought "RFL" was Rat Faced Loser

learn something every day!!

Not using maf. I'm using an AEM standalone. I'd like to get into more detail with you IJ on what you are suggesting. I want the most performance I can get. I'm not interested in the sound.

You referring to the return valve on top? If so any suggestions on size and area of purchase?

I just found running bigger fittings and hose to my BoV meant I could use a lighter spring so it was more active on part throttle lifts but would still seal up under boost, the T04z I used was a surge monster above 10psi and sounded like a joke on a twisty road....
