I searched this topic till my head was about to explode. 90% were FS posts.

Anyway, i'm buying a turbo kit for my 00 GSR and i wanted to know what's "the best" or the perfferred BOV and why?

Sound is kinda important to me, but i would rather go with performance.

I hear that HKS SS and Tial are pretty much the better ones out there. Is that true?

Thanks in advance.

 

I love the RFL from turbo xs.

ya cuz ure a ricer and its the loudest one on the market just get the tial and call it a day honestly get the one that sounds the best for u

 

Well try this link it has sound and video clips of blow off valves http://www.blowoffvalves.com/

Enjoy!

 

What about performance?

 

I don't think that there is such a thing as performance when it comes to BOVs. If they let air out when they are supposed to, then they are performing.

 

I mean i know they all essentially do the same thing, but everybody seems to pick one over the other. Also, some are better at holding boost than others.

This is what i've gotten from posts in the past:

XS RFL: nice loud ricey sound but leak like a mother...

1g dsm BOV: Great for budget set ups, when crushed it can hold higher psi

Greddy Type S (which i am getting): solid construction, nice sound, similar to the 1g dsm but adjustable

HKS SSQ: bov can recirculate, it is sequential which serves a purpose , has a high pitched whistle and hisses like a snake, sorta sounds like compressor surge

Tial: havent heard much about it but some people say it it sounds like a cracking whip, is it reliable? judging by the quality of their wastegates i would say yes

those are the main players.

 

TIAL all the way!

Mine sounds just like a Whip being cracked.. sounds like WAHHH PSHHH! or also kinda sounds like a Slap shot on ice.

 

I have had all 3 of these BOVs and i love them all:

Greddy Type-S - sounds the best IMO
Tial - Best Quailty! and yes it does sound like the crack of a whip...
Blitz SS - what i have right now...kinda sounds like a mix of both the Greddy and Tial. not great for over 16psi of boost without upgraded spring. so i need to upgrade pretty soon!

 

thanks guys, that was some great info. If anybody else has expereience with the HKS ss and tial, please let me know.

 

HSK owns

Love mine

Never Had a Surge, I HATE GREDDY!

Fucken Spring will take a **** on u after 11 to 12 psi

Idunno man, i've seen plenty of high psi type-s's w/o problems

 

i'm sick of everyone suggestion tial , when they haven't even heard it...of used it themselves...
sure they make awesome wastegates, but thats doesn't make their BOVs top notch
someone please post personal review of these bovs for the guy,
i can say my greddy type s stinks
rolling to a stop - its makes this aweful wheezing noise and everyone looks at me strange when doing soo
i've tried to adjust it and it doesn't help
im looking at another bov now

 

igo, mine did that too, i tightened it down a bit and it went away

 

i have the greddy type s now.. but im saling my stuff and gettin new. i going to get the hks with my next setup..

 

&lt;&lt;Apexi dual chamber BOV...not ricey at all. nice sleeper sound at low boost, nice release at high boost.

 

i like my blitz dd

 

Tial makes quality products. Not only that, but they look cool as hell too.

 

So i think as of right now, my top 2 picks are HKS SS OR TIAL bov.

Any personal reviews as menshioned above?

 

hks ssq


loveeee it

 

i guess my greddy type s wont cut it for me i'f i'm running 15+ daily..

 

everyone likes different things, get what you like. I personally like the Greddy Type S. very sharp sound!
