What do they sound like? The shop said my engine should be done by saturday if all the parts come in. Then i will get to hear is for my self. Anyone with an aftermarket BOV, Did you have to weld a flange on the pipe? Where did you get it from?

all you have to do is do a search for blow off valve flange... i know you can get one to fit a greddy off overboost.com you just have to specify what metal- steel or aluminum...

I have it with my HRC system. I wouldn't mind having a shinier and fancy one, but I'm also a bit hesitant to get another. why?
Well, my BOV HAS served me well. I never see a boost drop-off. It holds boost nicely between shifts. Lastly, I really like the noise it makes. I would feel retarded trying to scheme a set of letters together to try and imitate the noise it makes, but I would best characterize it just like from what you'd hear when a submarine door opens or Darth Vader exhales...heh
So, you can imagine all the crazy sounds a 420a turbo eminates....
1000-2000 rpms...usual intake/engine noise 2000+ rpms...spool up noise....like a snake hissing through a pinweel or fan...(pretty damn sweet) At shifts...BOV- see decompression sound
Remember, we don't have all those stock sound inhibitors that most turbo cars have to muffle those AWESOME noises.

I still have my factory stealth turbo bov (3kgt vr4). I am not sure if it is still good (been outside in a box). I guess I could sell it to you if you want.
