im looking to get a BOV when i pick up my new turbo but i dont know which one to get....i like the cobb tuning XLE BPV since i have the cobb tuning hard pipe kit but i heard that the turbosmart dual port BOV is good also. so right now im torn between the two...also my worry is fitment since i have the cobb tuning hard pipe kit thats why i would go with the cobb tuning XLE BPV but which one is better between the two.

help is needed!

thanks!!!!

 

I have Cobb's and am really happy with it. Simple, adjustable, and it works. Whatever you do, make sure it's 100% recirculated.

 

how is the sound? loud? cause i DD my car and i wanna be lowkey about it.

 

I DD too, its nice...a little bit louder than stock, but very fast and crisp. Obviously aftermarket, but in no way intrusive or obnoxious.

 

FORGE RS

they have a liftime no questions warrenty, adjustable and pretty quiet! holds boost great!

 

I second you kracka, love my cobb

 

At what point do you figure its good to replace the stock BOV?

 

When you upgrade the turbo or are trying to absolutely max out the stock turbo.

 

Does the stock have a problems holding boost? I was under the impression the stock bob was good until around 28 psi or so?

 

Tial q ftw!

 

It seems to vary anywhere from 24-28; mine personally would not hold the 27 I'm running.

 

I went with a TiAL QR...TiAL has been around for a VERY long time and for BOV's and wastegates I wouldn't buy anything but TiAL. When I think "turbo" TiAL is the first name to comes to mind

 

Synapse by far, it'll hold 50 psi and it opens better then stock. Best bov I gave ever had:

 

I went with the Synapse DV when my stock BPV started leaking.

 

+1 for tial, been running them for around 10 years since back in my dsm days they were ridiculously good to point that they have barely changed their design in that entire time period.
