Blow Off Valves

I am in the market for BOV and wanted to know which ones you guys think sound the best? Also in my Stillen magazine it says that the give you like 10H.P. is that true?

Hehehe, no BOV's don't give you hp, they just relieve pressure surges and make your turbo live longer. If you want to hear some sound clips of bov's go to alltrac.net. They have it listed in the tuning section. Both bypass and blowoff valves. However, the sound clips aren't totally accurate do to the crude recording equipment, they will just give you an idea of what the blowoffs sound like.

Re: Blow Off Valves

BOVs are only good on Z's if your looking for sound. We have recirculation valves on our TTs that can handle up to 600hp. There is a pretty good debate on Twinturbo.net under their tech section about whether BOVs are even worth it.
