Default noobie bov question

-fully built b18c1

i plan on running 10psi daily and around 18-20psi at the track

*i was going to get a greddy type S but i heard around 12psi the type S starts to leak boost? but with the type R it's said you have to run atleast 15psi and i dont want to run 15psi all the time. can you run a type r with a type s spring and have it not leak boost at higher (18-20) psi?

**also not to be a ricer but does anyone have sound clips on the type R w/ S spring?

***or should i just go with a diff. bov all together? if so, which bov can hold 18-20psi well?

I have never heard of a stock 1st Gen BOV hold 20 much less 23 psi. Ive heard that its good up untill 15psi "crushed"

I would look in the classifieds and pickup something a little bit nicer for a little bit more. The BOV is one crucial item in any turbo setup as it stops massive amounts of air grenading your turbo...

I have a Greddy Type S, IM only pushing 10 lbs. but I like it.

If I was to go with any other BOV, I would pick up a Tial 50 MM (Im prett sure its 50 MM)

you wanted a sound clip, click on my website link on the bottom, and there's a vid clip of my ITR on the dyno, you should be able to hear the BOV quite distinctly. I have other clips too, if you want.

I can tell you that the Type S is loud enough to scare old people...

The 1g dsm bov will hold 18-19lbs STOCK..you could crush it to hold about 23-24lbs, but that's not an ideal thing to do.

I drive a DSM, I run 18psi with NO LEAKS AT ALL. I have seen plenty of cars running 21-22psi so you're mistaken.


On to the Greddy valves. The Type R is best used is high boost applications because of the stiff spring in it. I believe the lowest amount of boost you can run with it is 12 or so psi. The Type S on the other hand is what you're looking for. I've worked on and seen plenty of cars that hold 18+ psi on them.

The Tial valve is another great one, so is the HKS SSQV.

Here's a link to various BOV sounds:

Im runnin the HKS SSQ and I love it. below about 4 psi you can let off and just make a light hiss if you dont want to be noticed and above 4 or 5 it starts to make a really aggressive whistle. With the design of the SSQ the higher pressure actually pushes the valve closed unlike the greddy so they are very, if not completely resistant to boost leak. This is a site that I have fount to be really helpful.
