I have a very basic knowledge of how atmospheric & plumb back BOV's work, but what I am wondering is how do you go about choosing one that is best suited for your style of driving. i.e. normal street driving, drag, or drift. Is there one type that is best suited for a specific purpose? or is it mearly "that looks good, I like that one" :D Also would the type of BOV depend on the turbo and the amount of horse power it produces?

agreed with the above and it wont get you in any trouble with the law! doesn't really matter on the type of application e.g drifitn/drag etc, if you want a strong reliable bov that has both plumb back or vent to atmosphere, go something like the GBS stealth FX. H

Im also a rookie so go easy :P....I bought my car with an atmo blow off and 3.5inch exhaust...id like to attract a LIL less attention lol

The blow off is FREAKIN loud...do different brands and models of Atmo bovs make a louder noise? As in can i get a different atmo blowoff so that i can keep that rice pssst that you guys all hate so much...but not as loud? or should i just go back to std?

if its a Turbosmart one (like mine) you can twist the end of the BOV in to make the noise 'softer', or out to make it 'harder'. When it's on soft, you won't get that noise unless you're on WOT just about, and the other extreme, well you dont get any dosing at all, its a constant pschhh every time you lift your foot off the throttle.

Hey guys, I don't want to steal this thread but I also don't want to make another topic ...so please forgive my questions nimmo and i'll try to keep it short...

1. How much boost or rwkw can a gtst bov take?

2.I changed my gtst bov to a gtr as I have a bigger turbo... but I want a little more noise (not huge) because I can barely hear the gtr one... anyway to get it abit louder without going atmo?

Thanks!

Get your mechanic to remove the aftermarket BOV and install the standard one back on, then install an air pod and you will get the nice 'choo' noise and a wicked sucking noise.

Aftermarket BOV do F*** all and just makes noise.

Only time I would use an aftermarket one is on a track, drift car when running very high boost or push the GTR one before the limit.

Adriano if you are talking to me I already have a pod and apexi power intake... I want the sound as loud as the gtst was on mine... but with a bigger turbo now running about 12-14psi and in my next tune I may be going higher and power levels will be roughly 250rwkw... didn't know if the gtst one would take it so I put on a gtr one...

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
