BOV Opinions

I have been looking around for a BOV for the Eclipse. I noticed a lot of people have the Greddy Type S BOV. Is it really worth the $200 ? I see a lot of Blow off valves that are way cheaper and have the same stats as the Type S. Oh yeah its gotta be loud , I dont wanna feel like driving the RS again and besides I am addicted to the sound.


Greddy type S = $200

Greddy Type RS = $85

Some Chrome BOV = $50

RS won't recirculate unless you buy the adapter for it. Type S will recirculate right out of the box. The type RS is supposedly better and can hold more boost than the type S. I'm happy with my type S.

EDIT: the RS bov link you have there is a knock-off. It isn't Greddy. I wouldn't trust any knock-offs from ebay.

Re: BOV Opinions

I've run the RS and the S on my car before. I like them both, they both hold boost just fine, supposedly the RS can hold more boost, but I"m not boosting that high anyway. In any case, don't buy the knock-off's from Ebay, they usually destroy themselves within a month or so. (I've seen this in person) Go with the S or Type RS, if you're going to vent, make sure you vent properly, if you vent without a GM MAF + TRANSLATOR you will run pig rich inbetween shifts!!!! The Type S is a whistle and the RS is like a "pssshhhhh"

Re: BOV Opinions

I'm pretty happy with my HKS, although i highly recommend getting the recirculation kit for it.

Re: BOV Opinions

Whatever happened to the whole "sleeper" idea? I would personally want something quiet... then again, I've dumped the exhaust at the end of the downpipe. lol

Re: BOV Opinions

I liked my Tial alot.

If or whenever I go back to turbo. Tial is my choice. Subtle when cruising, defined when boosted.

Re: BOV Opinions

Is a GM MAF and Translator the only way to blow atmosphere without having to worry about running too rich?

Just because people have had problems with something doesn't mean people shouldn't buy it. DSMs for example. People have had problems with the real type s too but that's probably cause it was set up wrong. Anyway, Prostreet sells the ebay knockoffs too (for a lot more than ebay). And I doubt they're selling something that will just break in a month. http://www.prostreetonline.com/buy/p...low_off_valve/
