Looking for a BOV
I got a Turbo Xs BOV and HKS SSQ BOV. Im looking for another BOV just to see the differences. Anyone got a BOV besides Greddy for sale.
Let me kno. Got cash. will pick it up.
Im not trying to start a debate on whether or not BOV affects performance, but that's what Im testing.
Thanks

Actually, it's not charted testing. More like feel. Just seeing how it feels. Ive noticed that the HKS SSQ BOV (dont get me wrong, if your pushing alotta boost PSI, its a good BOV) provides a lag on the turbo, [releasing to much excess and causing the turbo to re-spool] where as the turbo Xs doesn't. However, the turbo Xs causes low idling.
That's why I want to check out other BOV's.

stick with the HKS one, there is a recirculation valve you can buy, 15-20 bucks, which you can 100% recirculate the HKS one, if you don't liek the chirping sound, theres another valve you can buy which will give you a blitz/HKS sound, all in one! i got that one on my car, and it dosent sound like a bird anymore, in fact, i have all three valves haha. if you really wanat a diffrent sound, get the sard.

I heard about the different valves, the purple, gold and I forget the other one. I didn't know there was a re-circulating system for it though. Anywhere on this island I can pick it up? Would like to try it.

I can sell you my Turbosmart Vee-port blowoff... let me know... i have a TXS RFL but since you want something different, i can sell you my turbosmart... its super good... my car drives super smooth and the turbo spool is perfect with it on.. the only thing is that it blows only in really high rpms and high turbo spool up.. the sound is like a damp psshh and is not too loud but not soft at all. and i can pretty much guarentee you'll like the performance with this BOV... it makes me happy : )
