Turbosmart BOV?
Does anyone out there have the Turbosmart BOV?
http://www.turbosmartdirect.com/Prod...ual-Port.html#
I am looking into it because right now, I have the Forge BOV installed and am looking to change it up.
Dont get me wrong, the Forge VTA is awesome. when the thing slaps shut, you're on the boost. BUT..... it's getting a bit annoying to be honest. I like the loud boosh when I'm on thew throttle and it definitely is a head turner.... but it gets old when you're in city traffic.
I saw this as a recommendation in a few threads. but no one seems to have said anything about it. I like that they say it recircs under low boost and Vents to atmos at high boost. and I also like that it converts to vac controlled... but that's all I know.
could someone please shine a light on this product? if you have it, what do you think? Is it too loud? does it VTA all the time? Is vac controlled better?
btw, the Forge BOV is still ecu controlled.
