Anyone have experience with the Turbosmart Kompact plumb back version DV? In the market for a new one as mine stock DV is leaking like crazy. I know a lot of people are running the Turbosmart Dual Port but VTA bov's aren't my thing. I literally want one identical to stock in everyway with the exception that it will not blow open under high boost (I'm tuned for 30psi on E85). The Turbosmart Kompact caught my eye because it's all black and stealthy and its price is awesome. Let me know if anyone has any experience with this. Thanks

Heres the DV I'm referring too

No experience with that bov. But... I'm running a Tomei Evo (7,8,9) bov. Works great. Price wise, it's a little more but not much. They have some reviews on here if you want to run a search. Just to give you more options...

 

I tried running a search as well as looking on evoxforums and most of what I was was people with the dual port bov or the vta kompact version. And if i'm not mistaken isn't the tomei valve just a stock one with a stiffer spring to hold more boost?

 

Yea your right. They take a Evo 9 bov and rebuild it.

 

Might look into that then. I don't want any driveability issues. Want it identical to stock except hold more boost. I just did a search of the tomei. One guy said his started leaking at 20psi after a year of owning it. Have you experienced any issues with it? Thanks by the way

 

The previous owner was running a knock off hks vta on the car when I bought it. Ran like $@!&. First thing I did was change it out (to the tomei). I've had it for a little over 4 years with no issues at all. Works great.

 

Awesome, great to hear. I'll definitely be looking into this

 

Cool.

If you do decide to go with it... Just a heads up, the nipple on the bov faces the opposite direction (when mounted) so you'll need a slightly longer vacuum line. No big deal.

 

I have lots of extra vacuum line in the garage for that very reason lol

 

Yea it seems like every time I touch the car I have to run to the parts store. It gets annoying sometimes
