Best BOV for the Money?

Thats all that matters.i know that the ssq bov has two valves.1 for low boost and 1 for high.Its a good idea.what psi does it open at?i see that most of these bov open at 8-10psi and up.i know 5psi wont hurt the turbo but every little bit helps.
 
The HKS seems to do a pretty good job opening even at very low boost. You'll still hear it open even if you were only pushing 5psi.
 
Scratch that.... I just switched to the newer version SSQV and definitely still get turbo flutter. It was fine back when I still had the stock turbo but I guess this 6157 is more to handle. Guess I could be a major ricer and go with dual SSQVs.
 
I have Turbonetics' Godzilla valve. I like it a lot.

The Godzilla has worked fine by me also. Even with the 91mm.

the Godzilla is what I would get if I didn't have the tial Q already

but also if I needed it. Don your build is just a taaaad bit more expensive then mine :)
 
i got a $10.00 2001 subaru wrx recirculating bov. but it made no difference so i have it venting to the atmosphere.

$350 according to Jegs. :eek:

I think I might have to try a Tial style BOV as this HKS is fluttering too much.

Yeah, it's expensive. I think I found it for $299 somewhere when I bought mine. It's solid though - either open or closed. No flutter and very precise. It has a port on both sides of the diaphragm, too, so you can use boost to help hold it shut if you want to. I tried it using the 2nd port, but it gets tricky to get it to open and close when you want it to.

Where does it say they used the Q?

it doesn't say it anywhere, I just know what one looks like. I posted a picture of all tials BOV's including one of there older versions in a previous post in this same thread. I am watching some more videos online, this time of John Henssey, one of his 1400hp vipers had two tials, and they were the old version ones too. This video is a year old when he could only get his viper to scratch 200mph in the mile run, he had tranny problems, tire problems, ecu problems, but not a problem with tial's bov ;)

Don I would get the Godzilla but I'm not as baller as you :)

That's OK. Use what works for you.
