Its for a '97 Civic with a IHI Turbo. I was using an old eclipse BOV, but it just isn't working for me anymore. I am getting a ton of leakage, so I am redoing my whole setup. I was wondering what you guys suggest for a well built BOV that priced well. I was looking at the Turbonetics Rapter. Priced well and it included all the mounting flanges. I have also been looking at Greddy RS and HKS SSQV. Suggestions?

Thanks guys.

 

ehh they are the same in my eyes - its just a matter of what noise you like best.

 

Tial BOV

 

What he^^ said

 

I forgot about this. But how much psi can a 1st gen DSM bov(metal) can hold uncrushed?

What about crushed?

I think this is what I am going to use for my setup, and seems to be the best bang for the buck. If I would have bought something pricier, nicer, and better I would have went with the HKS ssqv

 

Forgot to mention I'm trying to get everything for under $200, including the mounting flange. Right now I am interested in the Pro Street Brand X BOV. Very similar to Greddy RS. Anyone have any experience with it?

 

ebay replicas hold up well

 

Do I need a new downpipe or can I just unweld my old BOV off and weld the new one on in its place?

Maybe thats why. BOV on downpipe?

 

best bang for the buck is turbosmart or turboXS....they have conversion adapters for the stock DSM flange for like an extra 10-15 bucks
