96572, Which bov for low boost ?
Posted by ChloRure, Aug-01-06 05:58 PM
HI,

im planning running max 8 psi on my turbo setup and now im looking for the bov. I know some will not work right at low boost, im afraid of turbo surge and would like to know which one are you running at this boost level! I was thinking about the greddy type-s but the type-rs seam to be much easier to find.

3000gt bov works great at those levels.

I'm going to be going with the 1st gen eclipse BOV. My friend has one on his RS-T and he is very happy with it. He is only running 4-6 lbs right now.

you have to modify the hahn pipe/weld an adapter.

ok and if I want a direct fit on hahn pipe I should use a 3000GT, greddy or turbo xs one right?

I've used my greddy type-s for 8 psi also and it worked and sounded awesome. I'm still using the type s at 20psi sounds a little bit awesomer, but works just as good. The RS doesn't have as much sound to it.
