whats the best BOV for a d16 custom turbo kit???
i want the loudest BOV for the kit, i will boosting around 7 psi. im thinking the greddy type-s, but i also hear the hks, and blitz is good, which should i go for if i want the best sounding?
So, do you want the "loudest" or the "best"?
The thing about BOV's is, they all work. Even the sorry little plastic ones. Usually if there's a problem it can be traced back to a ham-fisted install. BOV's have 2 basic functions. Protect the turbo from compressor surge, and hold as much boost as possible in the charge pipes at the same time. The Tial BOV is the best I've personally seen at holding boost, but it's far from the loudest. Maybe more like the quietest.

Highly recommend. Always see it on high HP supras as it is a pull type so it just won't leak. The mounting of it is the worst though. Only gotta do it once though.

I'll second this thought.

There are better ways to show others that you have a turbo.. Mainly kicking the **** out of the car your racing would be the best way..

HKS SSQV....all the way!! Had it in my old setup as well as the one I have now. It sounds hella sweeet at high boost. It's similar to the blowoff valves in the video game "TOKYO EXTREME Zero".
