What Do You Guys Think About The Sard Racing Bov
hey guys, i just picked up this bov, had to allmost go 12 rounds with the wifey to get it lollol. The kit was really pricey, but i heard that it was a really good BOV. it was either the SARD RACING bov or ARC RACING BOV. SARD KIT WAS ABOUT $750 for the FD and $600 for the ARCso i hope i get what i paid for. Here is a pic, if someone can chime in, that would really helpful.
just looking for what it sounds like, or if something simular sounds like it. thanks again for looking. here is a pic.

I sure hope you're kidding about the price. I used to run this BOV. Bought it 3-4 years ago for something like $175. The spring that was included witrh mine (pink or purple) was too stiff and I would get a bit of compressor surge.

I have the sard r2d2 and it sounds exactly like a blitz. I dont know about that one though. Its probably designed for like 20 psi or something seeing as how its a racing bov.

Judging by how that racing bov looks, i would guess it is going to be a rush of air sound. The ones that chirp have certain shapes that cause that sound. Look at the apearance of the hks one for instance.

....actually HKS makes a really good racing BOV...
HKS Racing Bypass Valves function similar to Standard Bypass Valves but incorporate an additional pressurized port to aid under severe boost conditions. They can also be used as safety ""pop-off"" valves if the second port is connected to a pressure (i think this can also be done with the Apexi dual chamber http://www.autocarparts.com/part/list/22/)
they want $250 for them here, but I've seen them cheaper...
