I just purchased an S5 TII engine. The motor had a SSQV BOV on it, but the shipper broke it off.

I was wondering if I should buy a new one, or should I try and buy something else a little less expensive. I had no idea those things were that much.

What are you guys using?

 

I'm using the stock T2 BOV. Works OK, but I have blown the TID off a few times--brings the car to an immediate stop. I probably should use a bigger one, maybe in the future I'll do an upgrade.

 

Off-topic, but still technicaly on topic. So. I'm doing a fc turbo, just the turbo, ic, fuel pump, and some other random crap. I am not familiar with this stuff, so there is a gold thingy on the turbo it-self. Is that the stock BOV or am i going to have to buy one?

 

No insurance on the shipping?

 

I ran the stock BOV for years with no problems,even with the TO4B hybrid.
I switched to a Blitz after the FMIC conversion.I plumbed it in the stock re-circ configuration to prevent any quirks due to the metered air EFI.Nice and quiet,no surge and the ECU doesnt know the difference.
