Blow off valve

94AWDTSi · 09-28-2006

I was wondering what you guys are using and your reviews! I did use searched already. I didn't get what I wanted. I'm in the market of buying one, and most people I talk to says to just buy any because they all work the same?! Reliability? etc... Thanks in advance!

They do not all work the same. Your planned usage can help determine which you need. A crushed 1G BOV can hold 22 psi so thats the most economical choice if you don't crank the boost up with race gas. My personal favorite aftermarket BOV is the HKS SSQV or whatever its called.

I started with the crushed 1g then my buddy gave me his HKS ssqbov and I liked em both. The only difference was the sound really. Then again I'm shootin about 15 psi soon to be 20.

You used it in your old setup? I was thinking the HKS also. I was told not to get Blitz brand haha just cause!

I had a crushed 1G and it worked fine for me.

I have a Greddy Type S BOV and I have had no problems and It looks nice and it sounds good too.

I have a Blitz DD

. It's worked well for me so far, but I only have it on from time to time when I'm bored.

The only 2 bov's I'd ever run is an HKS SSQV or the tial 50mm. I have yet to hear a bad review on either of these two. type s's are ok, and work just fine, but I have heard seal issues with them from time to time-small tears. I personally run the tial, because it holds boost, at any psi. Works like a charm each time, every time. Plus, it sounds cool as hell, but not obnoxiously loud either.

i've got a greddy type s bov and it works just great

I had a Greddy Type RS (40mm valve) vented. It worked very well, and looked nice (first thing people complimented if they saw my engine... ricers!) It sounded like a vented 1G BOV, not very high pitched like an HKS SSQV/Greddy Type S

If you have a small turbo (less than 20G) then the Tial sounds crappy and flutters alot.

**Shane@DBPerformance** · 09-29-2006

There are different springs available for the Tial BOVs.

Anyone here had any personal experience with the turboxs rfl type h bov? I'm planning on getting one to replace my 1g bov that's on my 2g buschur uicp. I like the 1g bov and all but I guess it's just my thing where I want the bov to be heard loud. I know, sounds funny and ricer right?

Slowboy has that BOV. It sounds really nice inside the car last time I heard it.

I don't know if they still are, but the Turbo XS BOVs were mounted by set screws and often suffered from boost leaks with their poor mounting setup.

I use to use a crushed 1g in my 98 gsx. It worked very well. I got a greddy type-rs, it works very well, i have it at 18 psi right now and works fine, looks great under the hood and sounds nice. im sure if i ever get up to the gt35r turbo stage ill get a diff one tho. Like a tial or something. My .02

Has anyone ever herd of the Sard R2D2 Blow off Valve?
If so where could I find a sound clip?
