What do you mean by "modified"? Just saying it was "modified" means nothing in a vaccuum. It's possible that you can modify it, but the only thing we usually do to those aluminum OEM BOVs is crush them. Then, they hold more, but exactly how much is not known too well, and it's not adjustable, so you can expect compressor surge.

 

I been using a type S for about a year now @25psi. No problems yet.

 

crushed 1g, holds the boost i,m running with no problem(21 tappering to around 19 at redline) and absolutely no flutter or comp. surge whatsoever

 

Why would you have a crushed 1g on the IX when that's not as good as the one that came stock?

Is it a BR350?

 

Disregaurd

 

stock bypass valve on the IX olds boost the same, mine is 22 tappering to 19.5 at redline. i dont see y u changed

 

I pressure tested my APS valve up to 27psi and no leaks. I didn't go any further since I probably wasn't going to go above that.....right now at least

Been super happy with the APS valve.

 

to be more specific on the mods that i am doing, i am getting:

1) AMS catback exhaust
2)K&N air intake
3)Greddy profec bspec-ii
4)Apexi AFC-II
5)272 cams??

Ams claims to have power gains between 365whp-375whp. so, i see a lot of people are really likin the forge rs dv or the aps bov.i recently read a little bit about the greddy type-rs. so now the question is, out of those three which would you buy in my situation?

 

Forged RS DV

 

Interesting story. I had my HKS BOV and after pressure testing it at 30PSI it was leaking bad, so I through stock POS Ghetto BOV and It would hold fine @ 25-26 on Race gas. I am not saying its a good unit. It just worked for me for a while.

I see you are going with AMS stg 1 + cams. Their stage 1 is very incomplete and the power claims ARE NOT TO THE WHEELS. Those are ESTIMATED CRANK NUMBERS, and they are not factual at all. Please do not get that setup; you will regret it. Please look at the mods in the package in my sig. I'm not saying you have to go through Buschur or buy the exact parts or even use the same tuner, but please...please...at least get the same combination of mods. You by no means want a cat-back with EBC and SAFC. That would just make me cringe.

 

warr, what do u disagree with more though, the ebc, or the s-afc, considering that is what u used from the start to tune ur car?

 

I disagree more with the SAFC. EBCs are expensive, but they can work if setup properly, although that can be difficult. I only used the SAFC on my car, because I already had an old version leftover from my DSM days. I installed it so that I didn't have to spend any money to hit 12s and so that I could remove it within minutes when going to the dealership. The flash is superior, especially if someone is choosing which one to spend money on...

 

Warrtalon are you seriously getting paid to preech your mods to everybody that joins evom? It's really ****ing annoying.

NOT EVERYONE WANTS YOUR MODS! Give it a rest...

 

im not gonna disagree that a flash is far superior than an s-afc, i just was curious which of the two u disliked more, the s-afc, or the ebc. I agree with you also then! thanks for the clarification.
