i dont know about the forge BOV. i've been hearing a lot about it still leaving turkey. i want no turkey!!!!!!! all BOV. so thats why i am going to go with the turbosmart. so with the turbosmart, i'm going to have to weld it to my cold pipe? and another thing. it says the dual port kompact series bolts up to the stock location. but it has the design of a stock BPV that would have the boost hose coming from the side and the exhuast hose coming out the bottom. where the MSP one has them both on the side. So if i put this in the stock location, i would have to twist the hose to get it to fit under the BOV instead of the side. that seems kind of weird. has anyone installed this yet.
I have one and get a weird swoosh sound then psssttt, I love it tho. better than BoostScience RDV. try adjusting it!
Also, ill go take some pics of mine installed and post them noe for u!!!
Look at my pics, i found a 1" Samco elbow on the web. I initailly purchased it for my Boost Science one, but i sold it for this Turbosmart and like it alot better. You will need an elbow for the Turbosmart Kompact Daul port valve, it seems like most aftermarket valves have a "L" style inlet/outlet. I now also have a Turbosmart MBC, i really like their products!
so judging by the pics, this would mount directly in place of the factory bpv? or does it still have to be mounted via flange on to the cold pipe.....
the dual port makes a bit more sense to me for our set up's but as far as driveablity is concerned would a dual set up be better with a seperate bov and bpv or will running a dual port provide similar results. i just want to ensure the car remains reliable and won't stall......

I just installed the Turbosmart in place of the stock one. But because its inlet is on the side and outlet is on the bottom, u will need a silicone elbow. I found a Samco 1" one on the net, and trimmed it to fit. Direct fit, no flange neede for pipes, just use the same ports u have on your pipes.

Kypatrick, i would also like to hear this BOV, i want to hear how it sounds since you described it as kinda "weird". so, how much for the elbow? i am very interested in this valve.
Wow. Yo know when i made a Thread like 6 months ago about gettin this Turbosmart Daul Port, I had like no responses. Its just funny.
Umm, sorrry no sound clips. I only say the sound is weird because sounds are hard to describe in words.If i barely accelerate and shift, it gets a slight turkey, but most often its like a deep wind sound like "kkkkhhhhhaaaaaaahhh" then a ppppppppssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhsssshhhh" (because of the daul ports of course).
The only thing i have heard that i like better is the Forge BOV, and i heard hesitation problems with it so i was affraid to spend the cash.
I got the elbow here http://www.boostcontroller.com/index.php?category=188
Also, u can get this Valve from S.U.. (sshhhhh, dont tell the Moderators i said that!!)
Hope i didnt miss anything!

also, which measurements did you go with for the elbow. what diameters?
thanks for all the help.
thanks for all the help.
because i bought minr from Ebay, i had no choice, i got the bigger one, i think its 25mm ( if im not mistaken, the choices are 20mm and 25mm). And i got the 1" Elbow, but u might wanna measure your valve fittings just to double check me, its been awhile.

yo kypatrickm, isnt your backwords. according to the instructions your's is backwards. bosst is supposed to come from the bottom and the exhaust hose comes out the side. how did you get you vacuum hoses to fit right? i only got one 5mm hose with my valve. theres no way to connect the vac hoses and i think that is my problem right there. the stock BPV hose would fit on the kompat nipple. it's too big. so i put the new hose in, but then it's too big to connect to the factory vac hose. help me!!!! what the hell. im not geeting any "swoosh", all im getting is the same sound as before. i was holdin the throttle while looking at my kompact BOV, and i dopnt even see it moving at all. so i know it's a vac problem.
