BOV.... Worth it??

hey guys check this out… http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7967855386&category=33742 Looking at it… i cant figure out how it would bolt to the charge pipe… would it bolt up to a 1G DSM BOV pipe… or would i have to make a new flange?? and has anyone ever got this one b4? thanks for the help

Looks like a flangeless design.

I have one similar to, mine has one horn. I welded the metal cylindar to my charge pipe

ok if you welded that end to the charge pipe then how does the BOV stay on that cylinder? does it slide on and clamp down or what?

The BOV slides over the bung and is screwed down in a grove, by 3 screws. Here is a better pic

thanks for the help man, is that bov u have loud?

I actually am not done with the project so i don’t know. I belive it is a stage 2, so it will be louder than normal.

I wonder how well those 3 scrooes hold that BOV on the bung… and seal ok? huh looks kinda schechy to me…

im kinda new to the turbo stuff… but arent most bov quiet regardless of stage simply because of boost pressure? i mean most hondas that push 6-10 psi daily will never get the bov to be as loud as those Stis pushing 22psi no?

you can get bov’s that are crazy loud by amplifying the PUSHSHHHHH through a horn style or some other type of stuff done to the BOV by the manufactuar. but you can also get sleeper ones that are super quiet. noise does not affect the performance eather, so a loud one will not be more sensitive than a quiet one…
