Ever use a stock BOV from another car???
Anyone ever use a BOV from a Saab or a Talon??
I have heard a lot of people doing turbo conversions on other cars (eg Hondas) that love the 1st gen Eclipse/Talon BOV's.... they even make kits that allow you to put the 1st gen BOV on a 2nd gen Eclipse because they are presumably better....
I have heard that the Mazda CBV leaks after 9 psi or so...
Any reasons not to use one from a talon or Saab??
They are cheap- like 40 bucks.

Thats' what I was looking at... they seem to have pretty good reviews... can hold up to 20 psi!
Cheap too.. like 20-40 bucks.

Sound isn't everything. Yes they do vent into the atmosphere. What you guys think about that tial bov. I'm saying once's I get that to4s is the tial capable. I've heard it sounds like a windstorm.

What would be nice would be totally redesigned turbo housing- where the BOV would vent the 12 psi or so directly onto the exhuast side turbine vanes.....
That would be super effecient, and totally eliminate any lag after a shift- probably lead to some mad second gear patches!
Oh well, i'm just musing again...
Aaron: Apex'i.. sweet! Did you get that S-AFC yet??
