Hi all, - Blob eye '05 wrx wagon
Before you curse me and tell me off and what not, I'd love to know, in your opinion which BOV you would go for...
I've been looking for a while and have been saving for some more "sensible" upgrades, new tyres, new yellow stuff pads etc , but now I think I may have some fun
So, I've been loking at the RFL - quite good for noise apparantly?
Also been looking into the HKS SSQV - good reviews, and being HKS a well known brand
Lastly, the GFB T9503 - Has some great reviews, quite popular...
If you do have a 'preferred' one or which one I should probably head towards getting, please reply, I'm stuck and need your help,
Im aware of the POSSIBLE rich running etc, no harm done there
Thanks In advance,
Luke

 

I have a gfb hybrid one in the shed works perfect if you really want one and don't want to fork out loads incase you don't like I want £50 collected for it

Also I have a forge vta one @ £70 collected

 

Does anyone know how long it actually runs rich for? Guessing its milliseconds after each bov ativation. Never really looked in to it though.

 

Hks ssqv fitted here. I've got it recirculating. Pay abit for them but worth having the best. It can handle high boost as the boost helps keep it shut.

 

If you still want one, knowing what you do, this is by far and away the best...for you.

 

Thanks for the replies!
Im guessing as you have those BOVs they're pretty good ones then? I've heard great reviews about the GFB and the HKS SSQV, both worth solid money but you pay for better products right?!
I think in align with this, i'd love to open that rurbo noise up even more, but when reading about it.. I wanted to get an open filter (heat shield to lesson heat soak) but a lot of people not recommending until you start pushing a bit more power where its necessary .... I like the whoosh sound the BOVs give you, I think the HKS has more a whistle, which is also good fun.... gotta make a decision....

 

I have a Bailey one on mine, i will be removing it for OEM part. But for me its the best sounding one i've heard. Has a nice sound and not over the top.

 

I had a Baileys BOV on my Hawkeye WRX, seemed to run fine but sometimes had a little hesitation.
I recently put a GFB Respons on my Blob STi. As they are recirculating and can be adjusted from fully vented to recirc you can fine tune them to your car. I'm running around 70% vented with no issues and the woooossshhh/pppppppsssssssssssssttttttt sound (as I am a giant child).
