I am buying a hks racing bov to put on my single setup that I will be purchasing soon. Now I need some real good info on this bov that I can't seem to find anywhere.

What is the lowest boost I can run and it be functional?

Is it nearly as big as the Greddy Type-R (saw one yesterday, those things are massive, big as a racing wastegate)?

How many rx7's have you seen with this bov?

How reliable is it?

And least important but what sound does it make? Have heard it is just a quiet woosh all the way too a high pitched flutter. What would it be on most applications?(not like 25psi+, haha)

I am def planning on buying this because I have a chance to buy it for $200 brand new so its price isn't a setback in this situation. Thanks. M-P

 

BOVs don't run off of boost, they're operated by vacuum.

 

Nobody has this BOV?
I have a chance to get one for a good price as well.

Ive never even heard one.

 

I think it sounds like a turkey. It kinda has a fluttering noise, unlike the constant PSSSHHHH or the high pitched whistle like the HKS SS. There was a drift video with lots of silvias having this bov. Can't seem to find the link though, sorry.

 

A friend of mine had this on his car for awhile, it actually sounds pretty ok, like a whoosh, but when hes boosting a little higher, it just sounds like a smack of air..........REALLY hard to describe sounds by typing them, but I tried.
