Best BOV to buy??

[onequickmsp]

Hey guys,
I know many of you are saying to search but I have with no success on this topic so I figured I would start this.

This is my problem. I'm currently running a Turbohoses setup with an Injen CAI and Greddy SP2. I was running a Forge BOV but I was having alot of stalling, air leak, and running pig rich problems so I removed the BOV and now I'm running the stock BPV. I've decided to try to run a dual setup with a different BOV but I can't decide which BOV is the best setup for my car.

My choices are:
~HKS SSQV.
~Greddy type RS.
~Greddy type S
~Turbosmart Kompact

I'm leaning more towards the Greddy type S but I've heard that it can cause some stalling issues.

Please give me your input.

Thanks!!

i run the HKS SSQV w/ recirulation and i dont stall. Plus i like the sound, not that i know what any of the others would sound like. But i love it.

I finally got my HKS SSQV on my car. I couldn't be happier with the way it sounds. If the high pitched sound floats your boat, then the HKS is right up your alley. A throatier sound can be had with a Greddy BOV.

there really is no "best" BOV...they all do the same thing and you will only have to worry about stalling if you are not running a dual BOV/BPV setup...otherwise you risk stalling/funny idle unless you move the maf to the cold pipe. The only thing you are going to get from adding a BOV to your system is a "cool noise" ... in which case id say the best two are the HKS and the Greddy. If you have the money and want the noise go for it..but for the cost you could probably buy something that will get you some extra power.

Hey guys,
Thanks for the feedback. I'm probably going to run a dual bpv/bov setup on my car so I don't have to relocate the MAF. If that fails I'll relocate the MAF. I know this isn't the same but I did my homework by watching a video of an SRT-4 with the HKS, Greddy RS, S.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FszbPFnxZKE

I think that the type S sounds pretty sick and unique and that (no offense) the HKS sounds like you have a turbo whistle in your exhaust.

The reason for my wanting another BOV is of course (I won't lie) I love the "cool noise" a BOV makes. The other reason is that with just the BPV on, I get compressor surge (the turkey) and I know that can't be good for my Turbo.

Has anybody had any bad experiences with the Greddy S?? what would be the better buy? Greddy type S or type RS?

Don't get the RS, I've said it a bunch of times now but it doesn't sound good on these cars. I think it was made for bigger boost cars. I personally would go with a ssqv or a type S if you can still find one.

[onequickmsp]

Thanks. I'm going to stick with the Type S. It sounds soo nice on our cars.

[cmahlig]

type s isnt made anymore, so if you find one it will be wayy expensive. imo the type s and hks sound similar. i love my hks

[MrDiggler]

Turbo XS Type-S FTW. Just my opinion.

I have the TurboXS type S as well. Slight dip in RPM and occational stalling. But I get a lot of good comments about the sound.

I'd like to try out the TurboSmart Dual Port Blow-Off Valve someday. Would be nice to get rid of the rough idle/stall.

My whole thing is that I'm trying to get a BOV and still be able to drive the car like normal. I'm pretty sure that I'm going to relocate the MAF and run a Greddy Type S.

Soo... The Greddy Type S runs fine on our cars??

or u could run the dual bpv/bov setup. works perfect with my greddy rs

[onequickmsp]

Don't you still have RPM dipping issues and lack with a dual setup?

[akeem1003]

From my experience, I haven't had any stalling or RPM dipping with my duel set up. Currently, I am running the HKS SS BOV with the stock BPV set up. It works fine for me with no issues.

[MSP608]

how come im the only one with a dual setup with stalling/dipping issues. each valve has an independent vacuum line, short path, and coming off the brakebooster. could i have a trashed bpv?

[crashkelly]

yeah maybe your stocker is damaged...do you have a relocated MAF? And where exactly is your BOV?

[MSP608]

maf is in the normal location on the injen cai. hks ssqv.

I'm running a relocated MAF and a Turbo XS Type-H, which is the next step up in their line of Blow-Off Valves. I've never had any issues, although I do get the turkey sound if I'm not accellerating hard. Other than that, no stalling or idling problems at all. I don't know if that's due to the Type-H or the relocated MAF, but I love the setup as it works very well.

hmm i dunno, if you relocate the maf you shouldnt have any dippin/stalling because your engine will get a much more accurate reading the charge of air with the blow through setup...im sure you probably already know that there is a huge difference between the reading you are getting all the way out on the CAI and that of what the reading would be if you moved the maf a few inches from the throttle body.

[MSP608]

yea, i plan to relocate my maf before i get my car tuned. ive got till may:D

i have zero issues.

[blazinrola80]

i have greddy type -s with relocated maf verry sweet!!! if your not relocating id say turbo xs type s<<< sounds intimidating minimal stalling dips in rpm.

[MSP608]

dumb question but u did adjust ur bov didnt you?
