I heard about the bov.

COol ass video....I kinda want it now!!! lol.


but I'll do fine with my hks ssqv..

[Wykydtron]

I have a SSQ... Sounds like I'm stepping on a damn rat... I miss my Turbonetic knock off... That thing was loud ;)

[sepulchral]

good bov for people who dont like bovs

[!Zar!]

If you want to make is so your ssqv doesn't sound like a gay man, take out the insert; the three fin piece. That will fix your problem.

I'll take my compressor surge cuz I like it. I love to make that turkey gobble.

LoL it wont trick nearby ricers, cuz you ARE a ricer if you put this on.

haha. I would get a geo metro, run with open headers, and throw that bad boy bov on..

Wanna fuck with me ??? didnt think so son..

my car would weigh around 1000 pounds tooo bitches!

[chmercer]

that one in the first post, looks like a good design, but sounds like lame

[Nachtmensch]

that s2000's motor's sound started to bother me. sounded very.... boring.

[GSXRJJordan]

I love the technology and the end product, but the ricer in me loves the BOV sound, and I dont think that one sounds very "BOV-like". sepuchral said it best, good for people who dont like BOVs.

[yokotas13]

i dont run a BOV, both of mine wont hold boost....time for a new one

Synapse Made a lot of money off the Missing Link and now he's blowing money trying to find the next "it" product. First the FPR now a BOV.

If you look at the diagrams it's EXACTLY the same as the SSQV it just doesn't have a spring and has a big cylinder instead of a diaphragm. The operation is the same. The SSQV doesn't open in that video cause it has no boost to actuate it. The little movement is the first stage opening. Once that opens the boost pressure pushes open the second stage. The Synapse model would do the same thing without pressure.

The two things that make this fail as a BOV is that it stays open at idle. Worthless to MAF cars and lets unfiltered air into the system. Also causes response issues as it bleeds air till it seals. 2nd it it a heavy metal piston that has to be opened by Vacuum and closed by Boost. It leaks like a strainer till it seals. The piston is very slow to react. You can hear compressor surge before it decides to open up.

I find it funny that he compares it to the SSQV when it is almost a complete knock off of it. Even uses the same flange. Love to see HKS sue them.

[sepulchral]

that bov is FTL

[smelly240]

your turbo doesnt spin backwards... it cant... theres WAY more pressure in hte turbine than the compressor. otherwise we wouldnt be able to make boost.

guys full of crap - and i dont like that blowoff (i havent had a blowoff in like 5 months. and my turbo doesnt spin backwards - EVER!)

ALSO - HKS ssqv no longer have the adjuster on them... they did away with it bc people were having problems with it - and it served no purpose.

and WTF the HKS isnt even hooked up... SCAMMERS!
