for 1, please use punctuation in your posts. without, its hard to see what you're asking.

but, under $1000, you could get a new motor mount, downpipe and midpipe, manual boost controller, MAP clamp, and TMIC.

That is pretty much all bolt ons that are needed.

 

[mr4x4king]

where would i get them from ? and have you bought from theese people before and how was the service and how much of a difference does it make

I've bought parts from Protege Garage and they seem like a great vendor; I recommend them. Check out their website: http://www.protegegarage.com

I recommend a TRZ motor mount, ETS top mount intercooler, downpipe + test pipe, and cat-back exhaust.

I went with the MS CAI, HKS SSQV, and the Rear Motor Mount. the HKS sounds sick, even in recirc. The MS CAI sucks in more than a vietnamease Hooker. i have yet to recieve the MM but I have heard its all the rage.

I'm now looking at BOV/BPVs... What is the HKS SSQV; a BOV or BPV?
How is it different than the Forge and the TurboXS Hybrid?

Any driveability issues?

I have heard horrible things about Forge BOV's (on Audi's and STI's), but i guess there are people who like them.

Some people dont like the "fluttering" sound that the HKS SSQV makes, but i like it. Even when recirulating it sounds pretty cool.

When it comes to VTA...the HKS sound and the ones I have heard from TiAl are the only ones I really like. I'm really on the fence between the HKS SSQV and the TurboXS hybrid right now.

 

[mrlilguy157]

i've got the hybrid and love it.

protephile can hook yall up with good deals. he's gotten pricing for me on a few items.

 

[EngulfinFlames]

yea, the HKS does do the flutter. But i'm running recirc and its still pretty loud. I had issues with the VTA. It wanted to drop really low in RPMs and want to stall even after i plugged the recirc hose. Lots of issues with vta that i have read on the forums as well(ie. running rich between gears)
THE BIGGEST PAIN was getting the C clamp in with the 90 degree pliers. Talk about impossible.

Thats the one thing leaning me towards the TurboXS. His price on the hybrid is damned nice...But the HKS is HKS...

 

[Powerslave]

i havent had any issues with vta except and occasional fart when i left off the gas

 

[mrlilguy157]

they all do the same thing. you're justifying $50 or so on a sound?

The hybrid is PLENTY loud, and sounds sweet with an intake. Damn good. You won't regret it.

 

[bova80]

isn't fluttering usually a sign of compressor surge? which isn't good for the turbo?

We are THE name in the VW/Audi valve market, hands down and without question. Anything negative that you would have heard from either of those two communities would be specific to BOVs, that is to say VENT TO ATMOSPHERE valves not our products, just VTA valves in general and being unsuited for the ECUs on those cars.

 

[thanotosq]

yeah, i am not trying to knock any company. So, i apologies if i seemed biased or offensive, but i was just trying to offer up what i had heard from people who that i know who have said anything about the Forge BOV that they have had. Maybe it was just their experience and no company can please everyone.

So, my statement stands, but it was not to say that there is, like it said in the original post, no one who loves there Frorged BOV...whatever type it may be.

Furthermore, Froge is on a very short list of companies that i would purchase parts from.

You are still not structuring your sentences correctly. There is no need for a space before a question mark. For example: "What are you doing ?" is incorrect while "What are you doing?" is correct. Another thing would be to add a comma before the and in the middle of your sentence. Lastly, please don't start a sentence with and... it's just annoying. Over and out.

 

[AAMguy]

read my FAQ...at the top of the forced induction page.

there is absolutely POSITIVELY no reason to get a bov for this car.

period.

I would personally use Grip Garage or Street unit. I have used protege garage, and though they have great prices i have just had a better experience with others. Though protege garage is on the forefront of mazdaspeed parts.
