I wanna know what people are running besides a stock ix valve for under 30psi. basically in that 23-28 psi range. So this would be your typical road race or autox type boost. Im interested in something that doesn't flutter part throttle and easy to drive with. My list so far...

APS twin vent
Synapse
Crushed ix
keep my ix valve

My reason is that i think my ix valve is taking a crap on me and causing issues. I know people swear by the twin vent, but after searching i saw a lot of threads about people having to open them up and re-lube them every few thousand miles. Not that its a big deal, but i don't feel like doing it. The synapse valve looks great, but i feel like it may be a bit of an on off type of deal. Let me know what you guys think or have experienced!!!

 

Have had what was at the time a JDM MR DV or now a (IX DV) on my car now for 100k+ and though now slightly crushed will take 30 psi every time I leak test it without leaking at all.

 

JDM 9 BOV if you crush it just a little.

 

Go Fast Bits bov if you know how to adjust it right

 

tial QR

 

aps twin

 

lol

aps or ix dv

 

hey fellow philadelphian.
im looking at the synapse bov since my stock one is giving me issues too!
plus i had a forge that came with my car and it made my turbo spool so fast- BUT it was annoying to drive part throttle.

 

Crushed IX. A couple threads on here show its effectiveness.

 

forge rs

I like a crushed IX because it is the best bang for the buck. It has zero setup issues too. There are probably better options such as the Tial or the Synapse but for me the relative complexity of these other two dissuades me.

 

We use Crushed Stock, Forge Rs and Tial Recirc and VTA.. All in that order pretty much.. Tial is the best of them all and if you can tune the car properly it works great.. If you must have a recirc tial Recirc is great.. The forge RS works and is easy bolt on and is adjustable if your getting flutter etc.. Stock crushed usually works as well at 25psi..

These are all great choices I think. Drivability and performancr being the main issues, I feel the crushed ix will work best or the aps twin vent.

 

23psi is a lot different than 28psi
