Bov Question

[kyld]

I am looking to upgrade my standard BOV and just came across the new Turbosmart dual port kompact series. I got a 32 gts-t and just wanted to know if anyone has it one their 32. Really liking this opposed to the straight plumb back.

Cheers

Upgrade in what way?

Performance or sound?

[Trozzle]

sound (see: cop magnet) and perhaps quality of parts used (not 20 years old) would be an upgrade, otherwise stock plumback is the best way to go

Basically I need to change my standard BOV due to a boost leak. I just wanted to know if anybody is running the new Turbosmart dual port BOV kompact series because that the one that interest me the most because it does both performance and sound(only at full boost). If I cant run that I will probs run a plumb back.

Not sure on the turbosmart BOV but if you want a good sounding BOV that performs id definately recommend the Greddy RZ. i had an RS on my R34 and was definately the goods and sounded really good and the RZ is just a newer version.

Ill be getting it for my R33 Eventually lol

Plus the good thing about the Greddy RZ is you can recirc it easy as too

ATMO can give you backfire/return to idle/overfuelling issues in a lot of cases.

So it's always best to stick with re-circ for those reasons if you are using a AFM still...

On the re-circ, a single GTR BOV will hold 25psi+ and is a bolt-on job (mine was fine for 370rwkw/24psi)

So doing the same job as a Greddy re-circ item for about 1/3 the price. Only thing is it's not shiny which can be a good or bad thing depending on what you want

I got a Greddy Type RS copy BOV (Autobahn88) because it was cheap and i was sick of the sound the stock one made. Its plumbed back and it works pretty well, and i didnt pay the earth for it.

If your intent on getting a dual port turbosmart, they make a direct bolt on one for skylines (Its black and silver) but its pricey at $450

Id suggest GTR or another Stock BOV unless ur sick of the noise like i was haha

Turbosmart will do fine. Installed one on a mates car.

plumbed back-Imagine the VTA psscchhhh sound, but much quieter.

Not sure how you will go IF you VTA it. I have never had a problem VTA'ing and neither have any of my mates.

GTR BOV +1 if i was you go for them!

Thanks guys for the input. Gives me a lot to think about.

Did not think/know that you can use a single GTR BOV, clearly not much thought went into this from my side...lol
