pros and cons of the greddy type-s

[Notorious]

No arguement here. There is one person that I know of in so cal that got a single valve to work, and he doesn't even have a dedicated line for the bov. It really does seem that is it just the luck of the draw.

You are re-circulating. I think we are debating over vented BOV's without a dual setup. And yes Notorious i will agree each MSP is different however i know it can work because mine has worked, along with other people. I guess it's just the luck of the draw.

I got the hiboost kit and tried to run the type s alone venting but even if i screwed it in almost all the way and got super super nasty sounding turkey it still stalled

that is impossible, how can you get turkey if you are venting to the atmosphere?

what's all the hype with BOV? Keep the stocker. It does its job fine.

 

[Notorious]

Its possible, mine does it then you get the sounds of the valve opening. Even with one spring in it.

i thought you werent running a solo vented BOV.?

 

[Notorious]

i originally tried, i went with dual when it didnt work out.

And you meant you had bad turkey when you were venting the solo type-s?

 

[Notorious]

yep, especially at low boost. the valve would barely open, but if i removed a spring it would leak really bad under idle, but would relieve some of the surge.

was this with a FMIC? or hardpipes? Most people i have seen that got it to work are only using hardpipes not FMIC's.

 

[Notorious]

fmic, but even with the stock intercooler and hardpipes, i dont really see how this could make a difference if the bov is in the same spot. Is your valve on the hot side of the IC or the cold? If its on the hot i could see the pressure being greater there since you don't have to deal with the ic pressure drop.

cause all the cool kids are doing it......but really you should just recirculate.

Mine is located on the IC-TB pipe. Maybe 12 inches or so from the TB. However i dont have an FMIC.

I am not recir. either. I have my greddy mounted on the turbo pipe and no stalling. At max boost or 10psi it does a whoosh and a whistle. You know its loud when you have wrx's saying wtf...........

yea alot of people that have it mounted on the turbo pipe are doing that. It' alot easier that way.

 

[turbo85]

hands down i think the hks ssq is the way to go. my buddy has it on his car with no turkey anymore and it lets off a really cool sound (more like a whistle and whoosh sound at the same time) and to top it off it works with the best of both worlds it does a bit of recirc and u still get the cool sound of it venting to the atmosphere! however if u can adjust the greddy type s to where the car doesnt stall on u i know another guy with an msp with it and he doesn have any lag, turkey, etc.

 

[DigitalHeadShot]

Thats not true ... lots of people on here are running the Greddy oven vent with no BPV and having no issues at all, myself included.

I 2nd that

 

[JDM Sam]

ahh the noob wars!~

 

[sickspeed94]

i have a question (definately not a noob), what about that product, i believe it's by turbosmart or something along those lines, that looks as though it's a BOV but has ANOTHER side that recirculates, i read the description and basically what it says is when shifting it runs to atmosphere, then at idle it recircs, any comments? i've ben asking around about this product but people keep dodjing my inquiry.

found 2 of them on ebay for 200 bucks so definately would like to know if it works. because even the most hardcore "function over form" followers get a kick out of that ppssshhhhttt, every now and then.

BTW, i eun a turboXS H25 diverter valve and it works awesome, almost completely kills turkey and sounds farely nice, and it's not messing with what the MAF thinks it's reading, why do our cars have to be liek VW's in this sense?

 

[JDM Sam]

Its 2 way valve half recirc half vent. no biggie if you got stall problems get one. Some MSPs wont run right vented while some will. Mine runs fine vented. Others had to use 2 valves to keep from stalling. Its a test and try situation.
