question for ex DSM'ers

[Tommy1005]

Would it be possible to pick up a 1g bov at the junk yard and use it on hard pipes instead of using a greddy type-s or hks ssqv? Just a thought......this would save a pretty good chunk of money if it would work.

i think there are a couple threads on it, but I think the spring or something was to strong or to weak and it ended up not being worth it.

I considered pulling one out of the old parts bin (We DSM'ers all have one dont we???) and putting it on, but didnt based on some search results on the forums....

I had one on my MX-6...its sounded great!! I'm sure it would be fine on the MSP; actually I remember A LONG time ago someone had one on their MSp and it sounded great and worked fine.

edit: omaha, ne ownz dis thread yo!!!

I would put one on my MSP..In fact I have a few laying around mabye I will..DSM BOV's hold up well past 300hp or 20psi of boost while still being light and responsive..Nothing beats a tial BOV and 28psi though..

[Powells85]

Go over to DSMtuners.com and do a little searching over there, plenty of info on the 1G BOV. I don't know if it would bolt right up otherwise you might have to just get a bung welded in for it. I have some links for you to take a look at.

Hope I was of some help...

1g BOVs will hold 14psi uncrushed, and 21ish psi crushed....They should work find on the MSPs and you can pick up a crushed one for around $80 which is dirt cheap for a bov....i was actually going to use a crushed one on mine but I got a great deal on a hks racing bov....too bad my parts bin has been finally reduced to a 14b and some wastegate actuators....

[wicked]

E-BAY has a shit load of them,and most say if they have been crushed or not.

I have two,but I'm keepin them.

[03MSP]

It will hold good psi uncrushed...but...if you want to run it vented you have to crush it no matter what psi you are running.

[INGREXCO]

why do you have to crush it to vent it?

[Tommy1005]

on our cars with 10psi, how will the 2nd gen bov's hold up? I have a friend that will give me one for free, so thus my question on that one.

[DSMConvert]

2nd gen ones will hold up to around 13ish psi....after that they tend to leak....

[Tommy1005]

so, with 10psi I should be okay with it for awhile
