opinion on BOV: Turboxs RFL or HKS ssqv

[03MSP-JH]

so i currently have a HKS ssqv bov on my 03.5 msp. i was thinking about trading my bov for a turboxs rfl bov, and i wanted to get your opinion on which bov you would get between the 2 if you had the choice.

Turboxs RFL Blow-off Valve
or
HKS Super Sequential Blow-off Valve

Thanks

edit: also both vented to atmosphere

IMO hks sounds like a mouse fart

i had the HKS and now switched to a turboXS

^same here. my turboxs sounds great and gets alot of attention.

- the only gripe i have with it is the maintence, every once in a while i have to take it out and clean the piston or it gets stuck. only takes a few minutes but its well worth it.

I have the RFL on my car at only 6psi, and its Effin loud as Poo. Belive me its well worth it! AND ITS SHINNYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

i like the sound of the hks.... a "classic" sound

plus its self adjusting which makes it easy to install

ive heard the rfl once and was not to impressed by it

well the hks i have is adjustable. idk why but the sound of the turboxs is so NICE!!! lol

I've had bad experience in the past with TurboXS and just as a heads up they all will leak to a certain extent. I have the most recent version of the HKS SSQV (in black) on my P5 right now and I love it. The dual valves really give it a good sound. A nice low "whoosh" at lower RPM and boost levels and a quick, high-pitched "chirp" at higher RPM and full boost levels.

I just bought an HKS. I've heard nothing but good things about them from anyone I've talked to. My vote goes to HKS

well i got the turboxs and it sound like crap. its got a 1" inlet on the bov, and i got a 3/4" outlet nipple on the hotpipe. all i get is surge. i cant even here the bov. it sounds like the stock bpv.. any ideas??

 

[fatti03msp]

the HKS is a great BOV, it does what it supposed to do..... i just hate the sound of it.

are you venting to air? thats what i am and it works fine. make sure you have a dedicated vaccume hose too.

 

[03MSP-JH]

well i fixed it.. there was something in the way of the piston. ITS LOUD!! from inside the car i was like ehh its not that loud, then i had my cousin drive it and from the outside it was loud!! me likeee...

 

[Outlawstar98]

Sweet

haha, and what was in the way of the piston.

 

[03MSP-JH]

haha i dont even know!! lol i took the top off to see if any washer were in, and the whole bov like fell apart lol, then i put it pack and it work. i think it was a small plastic peice that fell on the ground idk ha

 

[blkspdfreak]

well glad you like it, hope it serves you well. you will have a ton of people trying you now, they do that to me all the time.

 

[03MSP-JH]

so far i like it! ha.. really loud

 

[Outlawstar98]

LOL, u still on a stock sidemount? cause a piece of the plastic might of broke off, or there was just a little peace in there somewhere and got stuck.

 

[blkspdfreak]

that happened with my mbc. some random piece of plastic got stuck in it and was causing weird boost levels.

 

[03MSP-JH]

ha nah it wasnt from the IC. it was hard to push the piston when i got it. i installed it then took it off to put a washer in and cleaned it. now it works fine
