Question about buying a BOV...

[tomsupra48]

Is anyone running the Turbo XS Type S BOV its on the jscspeed page... i dont plan on pushing huge boost and im on a tight budget so i need some input on the BOV before i get it...or get something...i have a brand new stock BOV so i meen i dont really need a new one i just love the sound..who doesnt?

tight budget = stop wasting money on stuff that won't make your car faster in any way

Sounds harsh, but I'd still be running stock BOV if the hardpipes I bought didn't already have an HKS flange...

Good point poodles. IMO i would find a used, go the cheap way find one on SM. thats what i did. it was a good decision, that saved me a large amount of money. O, dont forget eBay .

yea i no trust me i no that there is like zero advantage to the BOV "unless im like boosting very high" but im just playing with ideas cuz if i get some extra cash ill probably get a BOV just for Sht and giggles

i got a baileys dv-26 nice little bov duel piston to stop the idle issue and not a bad price only cost me £75 although i am unsure if you can get them in the US? there a fairly big company in the UK

watch out for some of the turbo XS bov's. i've seen some of them leak right out of the box due to the fact that there is no real seal on them.....from my experience Tial, HKS, and sometimes the Greddy's have had the best luck.....remeber: function> looks/sounds

if you are just buying a bov for the sound...Freddy FTW!
Go Driftmotion!

i got a turbo xs rfl bov my only complaint is the afterfire from it venting to atmosphere. Mine was fine out of the box no adjusting needed, and it just sounds sweet.

I agree with Poodles, Save the $100 or so and use it on a downpipe, test pipe or something that will actually benefit your car. There's is easy horsepower to be made for somewhat lower budget items.

Just my .02


If you just have to have one and don't give a hoot about making your car better then try the Driftmotion "Freddy" BOV like Mischief said.

You could buy one of those flame kits for your exhaust too! :nono:
