I need a bov for my t78 single turboed 3rd gen what one should i go with? Umm i want to be able to run as much as boost as possible but also be able to turn it down for street use. So it has to work well in 15# range to the 30# range what would you get????UMmm if horse power matters ill be easy 300rwhp hopeing to see if i can get it up to 450 to 500 rwhp..............Not sure what the t78 is capable of on street port motor but ya know here hear tons of different dyno results just have to see what i can get outta it..............

I think the Turbo XS "RFL"(really ******* loud) should be good for your application. I think it's good for over 400rwhp+, but I'm not sure though. You might want to call some shops like Gotham Racing and Rotary Performance and ask them if they have a horsepower limitation.

What about the HKS SSQV? Also a T78@15psi on a SP motor will make at least in the neighberhood of 400rwhp if not more. Now if you are seriously talking 30psi, then you will fly by the 500rwhp mark as long as your car can take it. Those turbos are designed for that boost level but RX7's don't usually run that much. Supras do, but not to many FD's.
