i got two hard pipes but one problem

[CLAW5056]

the cold pipe has a hks flange welded onto it so im i stuck with that bov or could i get it off and get another bov?
:/

You could buy an adapter.. depending on the bov you want to go to.

or cut it off and either put on a bung for a hose (for using a RDV of some sort) or get a different flange welded on.

personally i think the adapters look cheap and bad.

but what im saying is its already got one on it for a hks, and idk if i want a hks so could i take that weld off and weld another one on

Yes, that's what Wagonbacker just said.

ok so i can cut it off??? good to hear

now is there a good bov for the 7psi range???

HKS is fine up to... i've heard 30... synapse is about the same, greddy type S/RS will hold up to low 20s... basically ANYTHING will hold 7 lbs...

you really won't notice a WHOLE lot of sound difference because you need more air volume (read: higher boost) to get the "signature" sound of most BOVs

why wouldn't you want the hks? Just curious. Its been the most reliable one I've used thus far.

I certainly have no complaints about mine..

 

[CLAW5056]

ok lol i just thought u had to have higher boost to run it. so its ok to run?

 

[Wagonbacker9]

the first gen is adjustable, so yes, the later ones are self adjusting, so, yes.


(yes)

i thought they made bovs for low boost lol (bang)

so what one would you say i should get? the hks

 

[Wagonbacker9]

some manufacturers make different springs to tune the BOV for lower boost... thats really the closest you come to a "low boost specific" BOV. some just can't handle more than X lbs of boost because they start to leak.

if you've already got the flange for it, yeah. I'd go HKS. thats what I'm running... full recirc.

im never going to up my boost cause this is my daily driver, so i thought a low boost bov would run better on the car.

ok thats what im going to do lol
thanks for helping me out.

looking forward to the day you eat those words... lol. mine's DD, and the FMIC by itself upped the boost. when I put in a new DP/MP that'll up the boost again... sick how poorly these things breathe stock.

[Wagonbacker9]

mine didn't... most would call it too small though.
