i have the turbosmart dual port and it is load
i'm talking about the sleeper BOV which is different from the regular turbosmart hybrid valve. its supposedly quieter, i was just wondering if anyone has any experience w/ the turbosmart hybrid sleeper BOV or maybe had a sound clip. overall i like the regular turbosmart hybrid with the exception of the noise, if I could get a similar product but quieter -- i would throw down the extra $$$
They make them for two reasons, function and noise. they all basically work the same so if you like the turbosmart hybrid but not the noise, I'm confused. The noise is really the only noticeable difference if they are doing their job correctly.
if you don't want noises, honestly, use they stock valve and save your money. If you are leaking, then yeah, upgrade to a BPV <- not a BOV or hybrid. Just steer clear of the forge bpv because it will give you a super mario coin block sound. anyone have any good bpv recommendations? I usually only concern myself with noise makers (rei)
If you are getting it for function run it full Recirc and adjust it accordingly. Otherwise it is not for function and you are looking for sound!
I like the HKS SSQV on recirc. It isn't TOO loud. There is definitely a noticeable difference, but it isn't nearly as annoying as the Forge sound can be and it's not as loud as a lot of other valves out there. You'll notice the sound, but as long as you have it fitted for recirculation instead of VTA, I don't think the sound is overpowering.
If you order it, get the bolt-on-specific kit from protege garage so you don't have to mess with the clips and flanges. It's all set up for you so that all you need to do is un-bolt the stock BPV, bolt on the HKS SSQV, and attach the recirc fitting.
Not if you order the bolt-on kit from protege garage. It comes with EVERYTHING, including the recirc kit and fittings.
i would likely run on full recirc. or mostly recirc but even the aftermarket BPVs which are 100% recirc seem to be significantly louder than stock. i'm just looking for the highest quality product that is the quietest. I mean I suppose I could handle the noise, I would just prefer it to be as minimal as possible.....
directly of the PG website: Direct bolt on billet aluminum blow-off valve made by HKS. No messing with flanges, clips or snap rings! Unbolt the old BPV, bolt this one on and go! The BOV utilizes a dual valve system to ensure quick response and complete closure during idle.
HKS Super SQV (Super Sequential Blow Off Valve) uses a unique sequential valve structure and a differential pressure control system, which allows for a broad operation range from low boost to high boost.
it doesn't say nething about the recirc kit... u sure??
The Forge BPV is a good product and works well for me. Get a turbo inlet pipe and the ping everyone seems to think is annoying is virtually gone. You still hear Pssshh just not the ping after.
