I finally decided to splurge and buy an aftermarket BOV. I had decided on the Type-S but because i can't get my order to process i'm giving it more time to think. A few people said the RFL was too loud and almost obnoxious at times which i obviously don't want but at the same time the Type-S looks really nice. I haven't really heard either one IRL so i was wondering if y'all had any input.

greddy type-s sounds really really nice ide deifnetly go with that, i think the rfl would prolly get annoying and stupid after a while.

i have the turboxs, i think it sounds really nice. Its not a chirp sound, or a deep woosh sound. It almost sounds like a school bus. lol.. but out of all of them i like the sound of the turboxs. Its all on preference though.

none of the above...get the HKS SSQ BOV or the Greddy Type R BOV.

rfl flows the best I mean when that thing opens you can see into the intake pipe



also I know where you can get one for $124 bucks brand new pm me if interested

i love the sound of the type s..... which is one reason i bought it.

i believe the hks type R is made to handle higher boost levels and therefore more solid, and more money.

i like the tial bov as well.

i havent heard the tuboxs one yet.

I had the RFL on my turbo probe and you find your self learning how to avoid the blow off LOL.



It is a good BOV can get a bit annoying if you constantle get into boost on the street but great product.

Type S is a great sound!

If you're choosing from those 2, seems simple.

I bought a type-s yesterday from phins.

my rfl is great, scares away the ricers.



i blew up an HKS SSQV by running 15-17psi, the innner rubber boot blewup. So i converted to onyl BOV's built in the turboxs style, no silly bellows thing to fracture.



the type s sometimes has a squeak to it, my friend has one on his wrx and it sounds good at moderately high boost levels.



kevin.

seriously. The turboxs scares people. I remember one day i was just driving along .. in the middle lane. It was a sunny day, stop and go traffic. 2 van on either side of me. And a car a little in front of me.. ricer guy, 4 door civic with windows down. I wasnt even trying to, and the echo from the vans made the loudest PSHHHHHHH every time i shifted. lol.. they were all excited and pointing at my car. lol... thats the funnest .. i get that all the time because the IC .. they all point.



Speaking of pointing, the other night i was out with ecko and he slid around a corner with some riced out integra facing us at the intersection. Both the kids mouths dropped and they were just staring at us. lol...

forgot to add the movie



this is the turbo xs bov

yea seriously when i drive around in paterson your basically driving in a tunnel with no roof so the echo of my BOV is sick, i release the throttle at only 5psi and it sounds like 40psi coming from the BOV. its crazy ****.



and after a while you dont actually hear it until someone gets in your car for the first time and is like "what the hell is that pshhhh sound"



kevin.

I have the RFL on my FD. It kicks ass, i dont see how people dont like it!

does anyone have a sound clip of the Greddy Type R BOV?

i made video of my RFL, but lost my FTP password and dont feel like emailing 12mb.



sooooo the fact i made a video isnt really significant.



kevin.

this is true.. not to mention the fact that i already posted a rfl clip https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/ohmy.png



i used to have a couple sounds clips of like 10 different bov's .. but i seemed to have deleted them :( sorry

yea but my vid cam was next to my bov for the full effect lol.



well i have a great movie i can watch https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR



kevin.

am i missing something or is the board whack? This damn posts keeps becoming unread .. yet theres no new posts in it.

votes bring the topic back to the top.

ahhh... thanks little fat kid! :-D

hey how come your choosing between only the two BOV's?? if I were you i'd go for the HKS SS BOV (old school or new school). I personally think it has the best sound of them all. and theyre pretty good qaulity BOV's but out of the two you mentioned id probably go for the RFL. I downloaded a sound clip of it from the turbo XS website and it sounds really good... To me anyways https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif

im a ricer, so i like loud and no actual perfomance gains! :-p



the type-H actually can handle quite a bit of boost before it leaks.

I like the turbosmart type 3 sequential and the hks super sequential https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif both very nice bovs

i dont like either of the options to many people i know have the greddy and the rfl will get annoying. i love my blitz ss its great.

I believe he decided to duct tape a trombone to his intake piping, but that was 5 years ago and my memory is fuzzy.

I know this thread is old as hell, but still, just for future reference.



Greddy Type S is known to leak, but there were a group of guys that liked it so much they decided to fix the leak and kind of start a company selling the fixed type S. NGR Performance Type S BOV, they sell them mostly on ebay and if you're wondering what it/the Greeddy Type S sounds like, watch The Fast and the Furious and listen to Brian's eclipse.
