mawby Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 You could consider removing it completely. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=187487 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 You could consider removing it completely. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=187487 was thinking that but id think the stock sound was ok and recirculating a HKS would be better as iv heard someone say they dont leak like stock?

Scott Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 HKS will be more efficient. It will wear the same as stock though. I swear this convo is like dejavu. Did we not already go through recirculating an HKS? I could swear i put up pics and everything lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 There are loads of recirculating valves available as an alternative. Not cheap, but you could get some money back for the HKS one by selling it on. Personally, I love the sound of the HKS vent-to-atmosphere BOV, but that's just me playing devil's advocate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little num Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 problem is the bov does help to protect the turbo's as it stops any uwanted gas's going back into the turbo's and stopping them from spinning, so id go for atmos and turn the sterio up louder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pistonbroke Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I used to have a HKS SSQV on my old one. I never minded the tweety pie sound though. I have a Bailey on my new one which sounds much more like a rally car ptsssshhhhh, rather than pheeeeeeep!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got rid of the foofy silver fin and replaced it with the purple fin for the same effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'd have known what CW said a few years ago back when I was doing my single install I might have skipped the BOV completely and saw what happened for myself. However I have a HKS BOV because a) the stock one wouldn't fit any more and b) I got the purple insert for the noise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 More efficient than what? More efficient at what? How much more efficient and how is this measured? More efficient at not leaking than a 13 year old stock one I've read on here that the stock ones tend to leak a little when you whack the boost up to BPU levels. With the push pull mechanism of the HKS this shouldn't be an issue. Don't know if there would be THAT much difference but every little counts, plus he already has it anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 i have the hks one aswell and with the purple insert. What does it sound like without the insert? Isnt there a gold insert also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 i have the hks one aswell and with the purple insert. What does it sound like without the insert? Isnt there a gold insert also? Silver insert sounds almost like a whistle. Its kind of high pitched and girly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 well i have the gold and purple fin do these make any difference in sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Purple fin will make it sound like a whoosh noise instead of a girly chirp. I've heard that removing the fin completely makes a deeper sound too, but I cant confirm this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
