Its loud ....


Good ??? No , it leaks boost like a siv ..

Get a HKS SSQV , GReddy Type-R , Turbonetics .. A quality BOV is a much mroe solid investment , than a really loud one .

Leaks like a Siv? Haha I don't think you know what you are talking about. Whats up Bucs.. This is AnT that was out in my friends Aaron's black Z31 a few weeks ago. It is a pretty good blow off valve. They come standard and then another rated at 25 psi boost level. You just have to choose which one you want for your application and then it all comes down to choosing by the type of sound you want. (which blow off valve) I never really heard negative about any blow off valves besides people buying used ones or know nothing about them. Some leak due to the fact that some have an adjustment on them etc. Aaron has one on his z31 and never had any problem with them and I have another friend with dual's on his TT. I have the Greddy Type -S which as well I never had any problems. You can PM if you want. A friend of mine owns a machine shop and can make anything you want or help you with the blow off valve and whatever else you need. He also has an Mk3 with many other Supra friends =-)

Yeah the RFL is not up to par with other bov's. (almost want to say they SUCK) If you can try and trade/sell it for something better. It really depends on your power goals and what you need. I personally spent the money and got a 50mm tial.

Like I said, it was free. My goal with the car is only to put like 375hp to the wheels. i've come to realize, anything more, and the cars tend to need alot more work in breaking down. I like the HKS SSQV bov, but we'll see.

i have the HKS SS on my VW, and it works and sounds great. +1 for it, never heard the RFL though...no opinion there.

The turboXS is a POS. I had one on my mr2 and thought it didn't leak. I pressure tested the system and found that it was leaking badly both from the ports and the mount. Unless you have a very big BOV, like the Tial, they're mostly noisemakers. The sard is pretty good, as is the HKS. There have probablly been more discussions/flame wars about BOV's on the mr2 board than any other subject. Get one that sounds the best to you as long as it isn't the turboXS.
