Default a QUIET BOV

i am a novice in FI world (sort of). i am in need of a quiet blow off valve, around 15-20PSI planned. don't care if recirculating or atmosphere vented.
i would also prefer one without flashy appearance, something like the old Bosch BOVs used in Nissans.

they will work, you would need to have a hose barb welded to the charge pipe with a piece of silicone tubing to mount the bov... then you'd have to plumb the recirculation stuff

the BOV will be mated to the carbon fibre charge box.

im using the turbosmart raceport 50mm and you dont hear a thing. I like the stealthiness of it. all you hear is the spool up

the charge box encloses the ITBs. i am designing the box to incorporate the air to water after cooler as one unit.

I have a Tial BOV and when I giddy-up it sounds like the car is sneezing when I shift. Not loud but definitely not stealth. Of course they may believe the car realy does have have hay fever as the whole thing is stealth.

you say you are a novice in FI, but you plan on putting together a system with ITBs, and a custom charge box with an aftercooler in it? ssems a bit complicated for a novice. I don't want to discourage you, but if you are truly a novice you should do alot of searching, followed by a simple first system to get your feet wet. just my .02
