I used the largest one for the return side, and it is the same size ast the inlet side. 34mm I think. It fits perfect.

Just so no one gets confused, Scott's valve was built with a CUSTOM Eclipse 1G flange for his Buscher Upper Intercooler Pipe.

This flange can be made available to other customers who require it, but it is only available by special order.

The standard valves include inlet/outlet ports to connect the valve to the factory hose locations.

We will also be offering stainless, mild steel, and aluminum weld-on adapters for custom install applications.

I will try to get more pictures soon.

As usual the quality looks awesome. Im just kinda sketchy on purchasing this valve cause I currently own a older one and get the infamous part throttle surging. If we have proof that we own one of the older valves could we possible trade it in and get adiscount on this one? Or even just a discount since we already own a Forge BOV and have this part throttle surging?

I do have the older one and found that the stiffest spring helped alot more on the part throttle "surging". But according to some tuners, the Evo is just very particular with BOVs.

As rsboy mentioned, part throttle surging seems to be particularly pronounced on the Evo's.

Part throttle surging is due to a number of different factors and is almost impossible to eliminate 100%. It's easy to mask it, but hard to get rid of completely.

The piston design and flow volume of our Type RS valve has actually eliminated a great deal of the partial throttle fluttering. I will admit it is still present in some severe pressure-to-vacuum transition situations, but it is so minute, it's almost non-exsistent.

At this time, we do not have a discount specified for this product for any particular reason, and we have very little need for the return of used valves, however, I will find out tomorrow if we can do a preliminary "Group Buy" or "Sale" on this valve, either through myself or one of our dealers on this site as it's introduction has been very well received.

This new Type RS valve is the best I found so far. I had tried both old valves from Forge. The VTA and the old resilculating one. And the Greedy Type S. I went back to the stock one because of several issues including surge. Then The Forge guys called me on this new Type RS, and I have been in love ever since. The best valve I have ever seen and own. +++++ (5) stars for this wonder valve. Everything you need in a shinny, silver, woosh package.

How do you feel this compares to the APS bov?

I have absolutely no boost leaks nor driveability issues with it.

Well, I have very little personal experience with the APS valve, but with the little I have, I think ours allows for more flow, and a wider range of adjustability and compatibility with more applications.

The APS valve is a "hybrid" or "50/50" valve design that, while very nice, we have decided not to offer.

While they can be made to work in some instances dependant upon the application, they provide little to no actual real world benefit over a solely recirculating valve or solely atmospheric valve.

It basically boils down to the point that: Either your car's engine management system, whether factory or aftermarket, will accept the use of a solely atmospheric valve or it won't. If it doesn't, use a solely recirculating type.

While it's nice to have that blow-off valve (whooshing) sound, we feel it's more important to have a valve that will perform flawlessly regadless of the amount of noice it makes. We do not design our valves to make a particular sound nor to accomodate those people looking to trick their engine management system, whether factory or aftermarket, into thinking the car is operating properly. We design them to flow the most amount of air possible, reliably.

Having a valve that allows for either configuration, recirculating for most applications and atmospheric for those applications that will accpet it, it's a win/win.

This valve was originally intended to be fully modular in it's design to offer compatibility with numerous applications and we have successfully achieved that goal.

While some may not agree with those above statements, they are my personal opinions, and based on significant research and testing of numerous valves over the last few months.

Part of the reason why we can truthfully say that "We can offer the widest and most complete range of vehicle-specific and universal blow-off and diverter valves in the world."

Count me in on the "Group Buy" or "Sale", I hate this blasted surging

I've been tossing around the idea of the 1G BOV from Forge but I called and they told me about this one. I can't wait for the group buy, I'm ready right now. Any chance of getting one of these shipped to me by Friday?

BTW - You guys kick a$$.

Mike I have a feeling that you will be making more of the 1G mounts

Well, at the moment, we are no longer advertising on EvoM, and we do not currently have the room in our advertising budget, so the Group Buy would likely need to be handled by an individual or a dealer.

If someone is willing to take on that responsibility, the sooner we could make it happen.

Any volunteers?
