Default What are my options??? BOV

OK so I have the original black Procharger BOV or surge valve i believe its called. I have a draw thru setup and I have it Recirculating. What are my options for new BOV? I want something to perform better and that is a little bit louder.... I know about the Big Red made by Procharger but would I go with the open or closed model ...I only running 8lbs of boost. I would like it to be a direct replacement of my original black bov..

any suggestions, links, or pics?

There is also the procharger bullet valve. Brutespeed.com is the only place have seen that carries it. I am probably gonna go with the bullet myself. It is about a hundred bucks cheaper than the BRRV.

The vortech mini race valve is also another popular choice, and is also a bit cheaper than both the bullet and BRRV.



Missed the where you mentioned you are draw-through. Early morning reading isn't my thing!

If youre staying draw thru then a bov isnt gonna work. if you stay draw thru and youre still recirculating it your really not gonna hear much with a bypass valve. if youre venting it then then some people on here run the tial bov, or vent their bpv's. I originally bought a vortech mondo bpv to recirculate it but now im gonna vent it because im switching to a blow thru setup so ill see how it sounds when i do since i cant really find any video's of it

I ust to have a procharger on my G35 running on 9lbs. I used the turbo XS H34 BPV. Its a very nicely constructed piece and can be run as a recirculating bpv or vented to the atmosphere depending on the settings you select. Heres a quick link http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/t..._content=48966

If i switch to blow thru will I need a retune? also the car will NOT idle right, correct?

LAstly, if I stay draw thru, if I vent it to atmosphere will I need to retune?

Thanks for your help and suggestions guys! youre the best!

I think you are mixing the different setups up...

If staying draw thru, you will be recirculating still, not venting to atmosphere

if wanting to change to blow thru, you will need to relocate some things (IAT if not already done so, IAC, blow off valve placement, maf placement)

I personally have a vortech mondo valve and am finishing up the blow thru conversion as we speak, I'd be glad to post up vids for ya
