Et al,

I need some recommendations on BOVs. Please, dont tell me to use the search, ive been on this forum for 3 years. Anyhow, i purchased an MR Bov about 3 months ago. I thought it was great, at first, but shortly after i noticed rpms dropping to 700. While frustating, this was fine, but then came the rpms dropping down to 100 and shooting up to 900. This doesnt happen often, but it happens ALWAYS on k-turns. Ive stalled about 3 times and near stalls about 50 just coming to a stop sign, or a light, or on a hill.

Ive tried my friend's Greddy S. No stalling, no dropping of rpms. I dont like the flutter and i dont like the nintendo game sounds that come from this BOV. If you can change this BOV to make, "pshh," all the time and NOT, the sound of beating zelda,while holding 22 psi...that would be fantastic.

My question: Give me a blowoff valve that not only sounds stock, but works. I realize all cars react different, but i hope ive given enough background information to help me with a better alternative.

So far i am liking:
APS - May actually get this but want to look into it more
Anyone have thoughts on the Blitz Dual?

I have the APS dual vent valve and it works great. It recirculates like the stock valve and under heavy boost it vents to atmosphere. It also sounds great...not loud at all but loud enough that the car next to you will hear it. Great craftsmanship too.

^^^

how much boost are you boosting? and is it holding? Does it need to be tuned?

Go with FORGE re-circ. You'll be glad you did.

PLEASE TELL ME YOU ARE KIDDING?? The Forge recirculating valve is a piece of crap!! Took it out after two months and went back to stock. No lubricant on spring, if it gets stuck, blow-back will occur...unless that's something you want to have happen?!? If you are running anything more than 16psi (stock, don't kid yourself, stock is NOT 19 psi), then any OEM BOV will not work. GReddy is the only BOV that I have seen to hold more than 20psi...but I didn't look past that one. Do a serarch on Options Auto Salon, or any manufacturer's website for specs...

Greddy type s with the small spring removed

You might of had a problem with yours - I've been running with this BOV for 3 months @ 21 psi. No problems!

I didn't say it happened to me...but being that the part IS NOT lubricated, it is possible for that to happen. Again, if you want to put yourself at risk for that to happen,it's your car, not mine. But there was another EVO VIII in my local delaership due to turbine failure scraplen in it...and guess what from?!? I bet you can fiure it out per our posts...Good luck with that FORGE POS, I mean BOV!!

if you read what he posted he doesnt like how the greddy sounds. i dont really like it that much eather but it works and thats why ya just need to turn ur radio up louder.

My recommendation for a FORGE re-circ. BOV stands. I am giving you my opinion based on first hand experience and not on what someone said or heard.

Good luck finding what you need.

appreciated.

Who said anything about being said or heard? I was ther when the turbo was removed from teh engine bay and taken apart, saw the damage first hand, and saw the culprit for the damage, and was thankful that I took that POS out of my car...

First, I dont have one myself but you can try the HKS SSQV w/ circulation kit. I believe some people on the forum has that setup.

If you ant my Forge recirculating valve, I will sell it to you chep...$50+shipping...but I will not be held responsible for any problems bro!

I have the exact same experience with the MR valve. Is anyone using the WORKS adjustable BOV? It's pricey ..... is it worth it?
