Hey, I just bought the type s bov for my t2 and I was really impressed. How many others are running with the type s?

 

Anyone gotta sound clip of this or the Type-R, and the HKS one? I would like to run the greddy but wanna hear the diff on TII's.

 

The hks super sequential has a lot higher pitch release compared to the type s. I hear that the type r and rs sound like crap, but I'm not sure if thats true.

 

what do you mean "impressed"? i have one and ive yet to install it and im curious as to what you mean?

 

The sound, he is impressed by the sound.

 

By impressed, I mean loud and the kind of sound it makes. I could get a cd of that sound and listen to it all day. That things awesome!

 

u huh, so i should be excited? i downloaded a clip and the sound is good but what about performance? and what is that little tube coming off of it underneath the bov?

 

& was it easy to adjust?

 

I like it because it was able to vent 17 PSI effortlessly.

 

17 psi!!! i didnt know they were rated that high, good to know.

 

well thats good to hear because i was planning on buying this one or the hks ssqv

 

i have one on my turbo and i love that whistle it gives who knows ill put those electronic ones on my truck lol =D

Are you talking about the tube that lets air get to the BOV?

 

i never really thought mine was all too loud, but i love mine

 

The type S gives me a headache. But I dunno I would never buy one based on sound, just be happy if the one I got did not give me a headache. The SSQV is able to change sounds, you can use different springs and covers allowing it to change sounds.

The only one I like so far is the RS or recirculating. MARTIN posted a sound clip of his FC runing on a S and I posted one of mine on a RS.

i have a Type S...

i love the way it makes different sounds...depending on how u let the throttle off...... slowly, and it makes a longer sound, and quickly makes a much more whistling sound.... and also under full boost a really loud quick sound.

 

I have a Type-S kit.
I dunno how people can call it annoying.
I *hate* the HKS units.

Any adjustable spring BOV can sound completely different according to how it's adjusted... On the Type-S (I've had two) if you have it *tight* it gets the 'hard, airy, psshh'.

If you have it *soft*, it has the 'light, slide whistle' noise. lol

I'm down with the Type-S, simply because it's a proven, quality unit.

Also, I still haven't gotten over how cool a vented BOV sounds... It makes driving a turbo car that much more enjoyable.

 

Umm.. When I was at NOPI, some of the big dogs were running that valve up to 25 PSI. IMHO its probably one of the best valves for the money.

 

I"m running an older style HKS sqv, not ssqv. Makes a nice quiet sound under low boost, but a little loud for my liking under WOT. My friend was driving behind me, about 100+ft, I got on it all the way, and he heard my blowoff valve over everything once I let off, and my exhaust is pretty loud.

 

its that little niiple right under where you hook your vaccum to, its slanting downwards. what is its use?

 

I have the Type S and I hate the sound of it. If I run it soft it whistles incessantly if I run it too hard it choo choo choos w/ surge at lower boost. The car boosts so easily its always chattering away in some form.

I put it soft w/ a filter over it and it helped quiet the whistle. I ported out the housing and flaired the end- hopefully that helps quiet it down...

I liked how the stock BOV sounded on my stock turbo open air vented w/ a flair on the end and a checkvalve- sounded like air being pushed out.

 

amen to that.

 

i have the ssvq i hate it too loud and annoying

 

If you want a subtle but beautiful sounding BOV, try the Apex'i twin chamber BOV. I have used that one myself personally on a stock turbo 8psi application.
