EXP: 1 week old Turbosmart Type 3 BOV

[YBSLO4]

Hey peoples,

I have a Turbosmart Type 3 supersonic BOV i bought last week with th egenuine turbosmart mount for an R33, but am going to get rid of it to allow for the new Greddy one on its way from japan. BOV alone i paid $398 for it and $99 for the mount. So i'd say $300 is fair for both, being it has been on my car for 6 days lol. It sounds awesome i must add, can be very loud depending on boost levels and is so easy to adjust via the turn of a wrist. Would prefer to sell to melbournians if possible.

can you make it quiet ? how easy etc ?

[YBSLO4]

Yeah twist the top on it by hand and its quietened... twist it other way and its loud... easy and takes about 2 seconds, other BOV's require an alen key and small spanner to adjust spring tension, thats the beuty of this BOV and all turbosmart BOV's.

is the stock place the bets place for a BOV ? as the guys who did my cooler made some ports on the cooler piping between the turbo and the cooler.. is this a good place to put it or doesnt it matter ?

[YBSLO4]

Um you can put it at either as it will work the same at both. Having it nearer the throttle body will make it respond a bit quicker on back off only because of its near ness to the shut off point. I prefer tho to run it a little further away on teh cooler piping like you had made, gives a better sound i reckon. Currently i have mine on the stock mount only because i bought the exspensive turbosmart mount for it to make for a neat fitment but it really doesn't matter.

and when screwing it right in is it even noticeable... or is it more like the harder scrwed in it is the more revs it needs to get the big sound ? and how loud is the loudest sound.. i want a crazy noise but i want to be able to control it so cops cant hear it if i go easy on the throttle ya know what i mean ?

[YBSLO4]

Well basically if your running anything more than stock boost and you have it set about half way it is freaken loud ha ha to put it bluntly... and basically the more you turn it in it will still go off however just doesn't make no where near the noise and has more of a crazy flutter to it. Awesome BOV i have it now about 5 twists out which is fairly soft and it is loud but not really loud, it has more of the intercooler flutter which i like more anyway, but you can screw it right out to say 12 twists and it is soft as and will make good noise. Its a great bov, probably the best i have come across by far.
