Registered: November 2003	Re: Which BOV is the best Tue, 18 May 2004 12:45 To say there is no benefit to having a High performance BOV is total crap. Just as bad however is to beleive there is any significant performance gain to be had by having one. There is a need to have a high flowing BOV when coupled with a large turbo. Even the most expensive BOVs are not up to some performance applications, HKS Super sequential would have to be the best example, lots of intricate ricey parts and bees dick flow capacity. They do however produce high air velocity (hence big noise) even on pissy little stock turbo setups. A decent turbocharger pumps enough at a suddenly closed throttle that a small bov cannot release enough and impeller reversion occurs (not compressor surge) which can be heard as air escapes past the impeller blades and out the air filter. This is often mistaken by NA enthusiasts, children and ricers as the "fully sick BOV noise". Ever noticed that the more you tighten the spring on your BOV the funkier the noises it produces ?? Its because it isnt opening - perhapps at all - and all you are hearing is your turbo spinning the wrong way!! So my point - big BOVs are best. I have a Blitz DD BOV - probably the biggest of the ricer bovs - and most expensive. But for serious performance it will not be enough for a big single application. Go the Vortech Mondo or the big bad Greddy. If you cant fit your mobile phone in the outlet you are wasting your time ! [Report message to a moderator]
