- - Best Bov For Fd (https://www.nopistons.com/3rd-generation-specific-18/best-bov-fd-21058/)

I wouldnt plumb the bov into the Greddy elbow, it will take up to much room and make it a pita to check your oil or change your oil filter. I'd just have a shop wend it to your IC pipe facing inward toward the front of the engine.

Also, I'd prob get a Tial bov. They are very good quality. I know someone that had a prob with the Apexi twin chamber leaking.

JSPECRACER7 - How did you test the bov to find that it was leaking? Just hook it up to a air compressor or hand pump or something like that???

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.

I've got the Greddy type S on our third gen with the flange welded onto the Greddy elbow, it is tight but fits perfectly and checking the oil is not a problem... looks great too!

If any one needs an elbow with flange welded on, I've got a few in stock

shameless plug ^

I have a Turbo XS Type RFL (really ******* loud) BOV and its really loud .. i compare mines to my friend's Blitz and its a little louder.. i really like it alot.. but i also like the hks ssq bov.. i like that special piercing noise

if your looking for proformance the best one to go with is the HKS R-TYPE BOV

there is no better BOV for the price....

[quote name='jspecracer7' date='Jul 21 2003, 06:34 AM'] 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?

no. no amen. because that sound is ******* cool. [/quote]

well if you have a slow car i guess sound is all that is left to go with https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif

[quote name='trs' date='Jul 22 2003, 06:49 AM'] 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. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif

I would never sacrafice performance for sound. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif

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 run the old style HKS type-r and its is the best i have run into yet and we here in japan all have that bad ass BOV for the proformance end of the class...

Well I decided to ditch the stocker to "clean up" the engine bay a little. I've plugged the holes on the rear pipe and y-pipe and will have a BOV mounted on the IC pipe between my IC and the greddy elbow. I don't give a **** what it sounds like. I want one that wont leak on me when I do 16-18psi runs. I've never heard what the performance limitations are for the stockers... there may be none, I just don't like all the rubber hoses and clamps. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif
