Um, all cars you buy with a factory turbo have a BOV by deffinition. If you install one yourself and don't use a BOV you will run into some serious problems.

does she want it for performance or just the sound? because the factory one will be fine for high amount of boost.

Just make sure the BOV is installed correctly. It won't be as loud, but the car will stall if you vent to the atmosphere on a stock car.

I like the Greddy Type-S for looks, cost, and performance. You guys say it sounds good too, so that's another bonus. I would also direct the air that the BOV expells back into the intake to create a slight positive pressure for the turbo to spool up quicker. A BOV can actually increase performance when installed this way. The sound won't be as loud though. This is what I will do.

That's pretty much a requirement on eclipses, since venting to the atmosphere results in a super-rich condition (the computer expects that air which suddenly isin't there) and if you go off-throttle after boosting the car will stall.

damn i almost missed this thread...finally some turbo threads

ok here it goes all turbo cars has a bov" the best bov u can ever buy" it will hold the most boost possible..but teh thing is it won't make the pssssstt noise...

the greddy type s is cheap and good but might not last u as long..and if u have a 95 stock turbo (T25) with a type s u might have to redirect the bov in the the intake so it won't be as loud...but once u get a larger turbo there will be no need for that so your type s will be a great investment..


the turbo xs bov's are sick..any one in there lineup is loud...actually loud and long...at top end it will sound like..pppppssssspppsssstttt

it is about 20-30 more expensive than the type s with the adapter..but if your freind is a hands on person he can make the adapter himself its really easy...it will still make the loud noise even if u redirect the bov into the intake

the hks in general has a high pitch noise...psschchiuuu

but it sounds real nice with a boosted turbo or a larger turbo....if you are just plannin to mod your bov and nothin else then i recamend the turbo xs cause i assume u just want to turn heads...

tell u the truth not much..except for looks and that sound...the aftermarket ones won't hold as much boost as the stock one...but if tuned properly it can be better...but they can be hard to tuned perfect ....
