high just wondered where the best and cheapest place to buy a hks ssqv bov for my 1990 turbo 2 thanks for your time

 

just alittle FYI, if there is an adjustment screw on the backside of the BOV, it's a fake... don't waste your time with those cause they tend to leak at about 5 psi.

 

Thats not true, the older model SSQV has the adjustable bolt on the backside of the BOV. The new ones you simply change the spring inside it.

If you are referring tot he article in Modified magazine, they said the ones w/ the bolt are fake. I have one that I was questioning the authenticity of. I compared the internals of mine, and internals of their real one, and the rubber seal is the same, and does not have the lack of elasticity they say the fake ones have.

 

thanks for that man yes seen a lot of fakes about i just wont a nice sounding dump valve do u no what i mean

 

Ebay is where I got mine, and where the deals are. You just have to becareful if its fake or not.

 

would u recommend any others for the turbo 2

 

I would recommend this one, you can change the sound and stuff, and its the most reliable one. The design or it is not supposed to leak.

I had a Blitz DD, and those supposidly seize up because the piston is not perfectly the right size so itll try to go up and down at an angle.

Greddy ones are made of aluminium and the adjustment screw tend to strip out easy.

turboXS is just ghey in my opinion.

i dont really know much about the apexi one.

 

i put two fake ones on my car it broke them both within 30 minutes ..... better get a real one

 

yep, I was referring to the article in Modified.

 

ive been looking on ebay for a bit and not seen one yet any where else recommended please

 

how much are you looking to spend getting one?

 

i have one of those adjustment screw ones also... looks real in every respect except for the screw. i cant tell if its leaking boost yet, i only drove it once. but if it is fake, i got it free so its no biggie.

 

hahah....I had one...but it was stolen...

 

I just picked one up used by another forum member for 80 shipped and it looks great..

 

yeah hks is the best, but be careful...the fake ones sound really gay

 

friends have had bad experiences w/ hks. alot of boost surge

i had an apex and didnt particularly like it. the adjustment ring thing is flimsy and pointless. took it off after driving it for a few days.

no experiences w/ greddy, but i dont like the way they sound. same goes for the blitz.

i would jus use a bov from a first generation turbo eclipse/talon/laser. they r very reliable and cheap. if u want it to be louder u can have it "crushed".

if ur looking for louder than that... i've heard a few tials lately and they sound really really good and u have no worries w/ reliability.

 

I have the HKS SSBOV....it has a strange flutter noise....it is compressor surge...it is annoying and I wish it would die.

Boost Boost Gobble...get used to it

turbosmart has some nice BOVs, I'm thinking of getting the type-2 sleeper.

 

Blitz ftw
