if your stock bpv is not holding boost then replace it. if its holding fine there's no rush

 

[amilliems6]

how would i know though? because i dont have a boost gauge

 

[coyfish]

you dont know unless you have a boost gauge (unless your leaking like crazy which is very rare).

The OP said he didn't want a loud BPV and I think the forge has the most noticable noise out of any of them. All the valves are quiet under boost but the forge is definately noticable once your moving. Love or hate the noise, regardless its a solid product.

 

[amilliems6]

yea it would be pretty nice to get some heads turning with hks ssqv

 

[ms6acton]

it sounds liek youre already sold on the hks lol

 

[amilliems6]

well its like 200$ lol and im not really trying to spend 300$+ on a bov and ive heard ms6 on youtube with it and its not that bad lol.

 

[ms6acton]

where u getting one for 200? the whole kit costs 275$ 200 is just for the bov.. you need the flange and what not

[amilliems6]

right i saw it but i thought all of em were bolt ons?

 

[ms6acton]

nope.. hks uses that same bov for most of their applications and just use different flanges so it will line up with whatever car you have. so u want to just buy the kit so it will have everything need

Hey Bro,

I know you probably have your mind made up alreay but have you considered the Turbo XS Hybrid BOV. Its specially designed and tuned for the MS6 and MS3. I got it on my 2006 MS6 and I love it. You really only hear it when your boosting. Its desinged so your check engine light wont turn and also wont cause your car to back fire or sputter like other BOV will. During normal driving you can hardly tell you have one but if you step on it you can definetly hear it. Its the best of both worlds and its cheap and you dont have to get a seperate flange for it. I bought mine on ebay for $220.00 (I know ebay, but its a really good quality product.

 

[amilliems6]

so what do you guys think about the Turbo XS Hybrid BOV

 

[ms6acton]

when i had my speed3 i had the turbo xs hybrid bov and it wasnt very loud unless u were in boost and it had a very nice sound. but i did notice backfire sometimes when i would go WOT
