Ok yeah I know.. bousch ...dsm bov...

My real question is.. whats with the influx of "Greddy STYLE" bovs on ebay? what ever happened to doing a search for greddy type-S and buying real bovs? Did greddy like lose their patents or something?

Anyway, I think my turbo is going to take a bit longer then I believed, since I'm going to build my own intercooler setup .. stripes is taking too long haha.

 

They are probably just cheap garbage knock offs

 

I happened to use a Mitsubishi Eclipse BOV. I recirculated it, because of various reasons, and because I thought it was the best thing to do. I am very happy with the way the car sounds and drives.

I think I would have been just as happy with a $35 Bosch. The thing to keep in mind is that the BOV is actually a very simple mechanical device,and it is relatively cheap to make. I can't see paying over $100 for the thing, it's just not worth it.

In the end it's how your car drives and performs thats whats important. I think those polished aluminum, pink and purple, vented to the atmosphere BOV's look kind of poser anyway. Buy a cheap Bosch and don't worry about it.

 

My polished alumnium purple BOV rocks your plastic POS.

Brad those guys on eBay make a killing selling crap like that. People who refer to stuff as an "eBay coilovers" and think eBay is like Sears don't know the difference between **** and poo.

 

Haha I know, but back in the day when I was in the market for my greddy type S there was never this type of extreme knockoff-age. I'll be sticking w/ the bosch or a 1g DSM.

 

They are both cheap & proven. A bunch of people run them here.

 

Mine's aluminum It's just not polished and purple.

 

It kills me that some people use the 2g DSM (plastic) ones because they were pretty much guaranteed to leak at 12 psi. At the same time they sure were quiet.
