For me a BOV is there to do a job, not to see how loud she goes.

that's why you get one the does it job well, and sounds good(doesn't mean loud as hell)...i would never sacrifice performance for sound. yet if you can have both....go for it.

there's nothing wrong with the stock bov's. If your upgrading your bov because it's not loud...then I'm going to call you a RICER...



...can I get an AMEN?
AAAAAmen

First of all, I know I said I wanted a loud BOV but That doesn't mean that I want a BOV for the sound, I just wanted 2 know what would be a good BOV that would would do sound good but at the same time not sacrafice performance.

I'm sorry if it sounded that way.



I would never sacrafice performance for sound.

An aftermarket BOV for the stock twins...I'd go with the Apexi twin chamber. I've had the Blitz SS BOV and it was loud as ****....and boost leaked at .8 kilos boost(appx. 11 psi) I don't like the HKS BOV's except for their old style Type R.



I run the Greddy Racing...but I'm not exactly "stock turbo" size either.

I would have to say from my experience the HKS super sequntial sounds great and does not leak like some others do.

I heard that venting the stock BOV will solve the problem........ It's quite loud IMO......

I plan on getting the M2 i/c which uses the greddy elbow (with or with out the bov flange) So, should I just get the regular elbow and use the stock bov or should I get the elbow with the flange and switch to an aftermarket bov? If I get an aftermarket bov for the elbow do I have to take the stock bov off? Sorry if that was off topic.
