Question Help needed to identify my Blow Off Valve.

I have been searching a lot around but till now without success. The BOV I have came with the car when I bought it and it is one of the few non stock parts it has.

I would like to know what type it is and who manufactured it. Maybe even how much it costs.


Thanks a lot for all the help.

looks like a greddy type S? Though the canister may be a bit too big. Could be custom?

Don't know who makes it, but it looks just like this one but w/o the custom FM stamp.

i am pretty sure its a sheepdog bov. I had the same unit a couple of years ago and was really impressed. Lost it though when it was flicked of my old engine whilst transplanting new engine. Yup i'm pretty sure its a sheep dog. An australian brand but not much info online.


Very popular in Asia. Did you just take that off ya front clip from Japan!

Looks like a Sheepdog BOV but it lacks the rivets above the beveled indentation on the side. Then again, maybe it's a newer model or is something completely different altogether. Who knows?

Thanks for the help so far guys.

I will have to take some closer photos of it but I am pretty sure it has no wording on it and that is why I cannot identify it so far. Maybe its custom.

I will be at my specialist tommorow since the 7 is in for some fine tuning on the boost. If I do not forget I will take my digi cam for closer shots and will as him as well if he has any clue.

Should be back in 24hrs.

there are a LOT of ripoff BOV's that look about like the real thing and cost a lot less. many people are fooled by these rip offs... i think its a ripoff from ebay.
