Probably the HKS SSQV. Expensive, but worth it IMO. It's loud in itself (depending on the type on fin insert you have) at high boost. At low boost it seems to flutter.

Hehe I really dont care how loud it is.....its a great sound. Especially when I am going down I-75 here in Fl at about 85 and I have another 2G with their turbo spooling up on my left, and a Talon on my right with their BOV going, weaving in and out of traffic like no other car in the country could touch us. Beautiful sight...Beautiful sounds.

I run an RFL at 7-8 psi (when my stupid car is running, which has been very little since the turbo install), and it's extremely loud. I almost don't like it. I guess it makes up for the exhaust being so much quieter now.

even with a really good vacuum source (mine goes to the throttle body vacuum port) and no washers in it, the RFL is weak at anything less than 5-8 psi...

at 12-14 psi, it starts to get good.

at 16+ psi, it will start to scare the crap out of you.

I made 2 teenagers jump into the bushes at 9psi one night riding with the wife AHAHAHA

Cop pulled me over after I passed a gas station to let me know my car had a vacuum or exhaust leak. "You sound like a Mack truck son"


I was starting to get annoyed, but the car is auto so I can pretty much live with it. 5SP would drive me insane.

no way E. I bought the RFL for that reason. I was thinking of getting that new Blitz Godzilla one. I heard that one is louder than the rfl and the tial.

sounds pretty good at 20psi too, just have to add a couple washer so it wont leak ;)

+1. When I run 18-20 psi through it, it lives up to its name. Its great, it scares people daily. Gotta love that.

i've been wanting to get that bov, where is a good place to get it, with the adapter plate and everything? or does it come all together?
65461, RE: turbo xs rfl on 5 psi
Posted by jsupetran, Feb-18-04 12:28 PM
FUCK!!! I posted and it didn't show.

I got mine on ebay for 100 new from this guy named tsai 1996. He has two more he said.

I was about to sell mine actually, but I tweaked the spring by cutting it and it sounds just about right. Not too loud, yet that is...

ALso, if you have the hrc kit, it is a complete bolt on. No need to buy a flange since the bottom of the rfl slips into the flange, and the bov has screws that are used to secure it. Perfect fit.

hell yeah, ^^^good to hear! i was looking at them on MachV, yeah, i know they're expensive, but i was looking at their TurboXS type H...and was listening to the soundclip of both the type H and RFL...the type H seems to have a more clear and louder sound!

My Type H-34 is coming in the mail today or tomorrow. I'll throw it on a see how it sounds compared to the sound clip I heard of the RFL.

I am beginning to LOVE MY RFL. I cut the spring a lot soo the weird noises are gone and even at 1-2 psi, it sounds perfect. Not too loud. That's why I am keeping it :P. Cheap to; under 100. I am sure I'd get annoying if it is 15 psi all the time but for not, it's perfect :).

where did you buy it from..how much?
65617, RE: turbo xs rfl on 5 psi
Posted by eclipse804, Feb-20-04 08:27 PM
I've heard the Turbo XS RFL doesn't perform too well under high boost applications (don't know if that's true though). I like my HKS ssqv but it also shouldn't be used on cars over 20 psi. I think the Forge BOV and Worx Tuning BOV's are supposed to be pretty nice for performance (but not that loud). Right now I took off my hks ssqv, and the car seems to drive smoother between shifts because the atmospheric bov makes it run slightly rich when it blows off (due to MAF sensor instead of MAP).

I bought it from another 2GNTer along with some other stuff so it all just figured into the total price. They go for $189 brand new according to Turbo XS's site. Here's the two side by side, they're the exact same thing except the Type H doesn't have the little horn outlet.

I took off the horn and it lessens the sound.

I don't know about some of you guys saying it "isn't that loud". Mine is absolutely freaking loud as shit! I havent heard it for a while because I have a turbo now and my car never runs, but when I last heard it, I remember it being annoyingly rediculously loud.

that type H looks very different from the one that MachV sells. go check it out and listen to it at machv.com
