I got into an arguement with someone yesterday about the type-s bov's. As far as I know they are total pieces of shit and your better off with a 1g/crushed 1g then a type-s. Well he is the kind of kid who has his parents buy him a car(04 evoVIII) then thinks he is the shit and was looking for a bov and he said a bunch of evo owners online told him to buy a type-s. Any of you evo guys agree and anyone else who has had a type-s have any issues on it or like/dont like?

 

there really is no dieffernce between type s and stock 1st gen well its actually more CONVENIENT getting a type s instead of getting a 1st gen bov crushed (well for thatkid since he sounds like he has a fat pocket) type s is known to hold up to 25 lbs psi before leak while a 1st gen bov only can hold 18. well thats IMO

 

Nah he just has the case of parents have a fat pocket. I have known some type-s's to leak at 14lbs and crushed 1g bov's hold over 27lbs with no leaks

 

I've had good luck with my typeS. Holding boost obviously isn't the only function of a BOV, if it doesn't release a sufficient amount of air, its not doing its job either.

 

Turbo Dodge Modded 1g BPV for life! If one doesn't bypass enough air, run two!

My vote was always with a crushed 1g, hsk ssq or a tial.

 

i have a type s also, along with other friends. dont know where you get the idea that they are pos's...

 

I have seen them personally leak before 20lbs of boost, and more then just one. From what I have seen no fast dsm's are running a type-s.

 

im still running the type s and it held nicely when i had the 20g running 117mph traps.

 

The fastest FWD in town uses a Type S.
