what kind of BOV should i buy with the best sound and the lowest $$$$?? any ideas?

 

STFA, please.

 

OMFG!!! Please Please dont do a bov on your car unless you set it up as a dv...

 

I need to get a newspaper so I can smack people on the nose and say "NO." Which has nothing to do with this post...

In other words, don't get a BOV. There is evidence that they can do damage to your engine because the 1.8t engine was designed to use the recirculated air from the diverter valve that comes with the car. They're useless, unless you actually liked Fast and Furryous. (Yes, I meant to spell it that way)

 

the evo dv is very loud, if u gots enough boost goin threw it.

 

woooooooooooshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....i suppose the best bang for the buck is the 29 dollar 710n dv , no kewl sound though.....wooooooooooooooooooooooooooshhhhhhhhhhh hhhh just for s&g...

 

i know i need to get a recirculating bov, but they dont really matter unless i'm producing alot of horsepower, is that correct?

 

Well it does matter.

Your engine's computer is expecting all of that boost to flow through into the engine, rather than being blown out into the atmosphere. You will seriously end up causing more problems than that little sound is worth.

If you go with a BOV setup, from my understanding, you need to get specific software that will be calibrated for that. You will probably find more answers on this topic over at www.audizine.com as they have more people with BOV setups.

 

a recirculating BOV (blow-off valve) is a DV (diverter valve), sometimes called a BPV (by-pass valve)...if you have a huge turbo with custom software, then you can usually run a BOV pretty safely. if you're stock, or chipped, you'll have some problems with it. you'll run rich, which will cause your cats and o2 sensors to fail prematurely. they're very expensive to replace.

 

yes....so my advice, just get rid of you cat and get a HUGE turbo!
