i have a turbo si and i need a blow off valve. i would eventually like to be boosting around a bar (14.7) psi so if you guys could suggest what the best one for the money is in your opinion i would really appreciate it.

 

Used 1g dsm BOV. They can be found for relatively cheap (30-50 dollars), and can definitely hold 14.7 psi. Plus they sound pretty good too.

Heres a good site http://www.dsmtrader.com/ I would also try junkyards.

Don't go cheap on that high compression motor man, especially with that boost goal.

You might be able to get away with a cheapy BOV, but don't let it be a trend...

For the money, you can't beat the Tial wastegate.

found it funny when i pictured a 35mm flange and a TiAL sitting on the charge pipe ehhe

 

turbo xs! RFL!!!!

 

As long as you go with a know and reputable brand, you will be ok. The main different between bov is the sound. The 1G dsm is a very nice piece. Most dsm runs up to 20-22 lbs on them.

 

I bought one of these no-name ebay ones when I was getting my parts together last year, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...18863 -- No regrets. Sounds fine, adjustable, works like it should. It doesn't leak one bit.

cheap = good when it works~!

for the money id say 1st gen dsm

 

about that greddy type s it tends to leak after 10 lbs of boost... just what i have been informed of... or

well i've seen them run on high boost apps. i think it's not only the boost amount running... but the air flow ie turbo size. like t-25 @ 10psi is nothing like a 60-1 @ 10psi. get what i'm saying?

 

Why is a 1g dsm bov the cheap way out? He's not talking that much boost, I personally know of guys who run 22 psi w/no problems. How is it the cheap way out? What would buying an aftermarket bov really gain him besides a different sound? So you are saying because the dsm bov is much cheaper it's the cheap way out. You do not have to go out and buy a 200 dollar bov when a 50 dollar piece will do the same job, unless you really like shiny things, in that case be my guest. But that is just my opinion.

A DSM BOV is not the cheap way out, many people use them on 11 second cars running over 25 psi of boost.

A GOOD aftermarket BOV is also a good choice, but they're aren't a lot of those, and that aren't NECESSARY.

 

thanks guys i really appreciate all the responses and i bid on a turbo xs rfl. brand new and got it for about 152. says i can boost up to 25 psi and i hear they sound pretty good but thanks a lot for ur suggestions

pacific performance uses a greddy type s on their 9sec. drag civic. Good enough for them, good enough for me, hehe.

 

For the "whushhh" kinda sound = 1G dsm
For a whistle kinda sound get the adjustable volvo BOV
Both work fine, unless your one of those "bling bling" kina ballaz.

$220 or what ever BOV fits in your tool box...
