Well I wouldnt be suprised if it didnt have a BOV, the HKS kit doesnt come with one.

 

Reading back, James said theres no BOV. It does only run 5psi.... granted its not a lot of pressure but its still pressure. It should have a BOV, pressure is pressure against a TB and turbos fins.

 

yeah, a BOV would be nice

 

wow james, a freaking turbo. excellent haha.

 

yeah i don't like the fact that there isn't one. maybe they'll supply it as an add on or something?....

 

Pshh! For an extra $300-$400!
If James said theres no BOV right now the whole cold pipe will need to be replaced. Unless you want to save money, buy the BOV and have the supplied flange welded in where you want it?

BTW, thanks for the rep a while back.

 

Ray is right, there IS a bypass. I also purchased a BOV through GReddy and plan to have it welded to my cold pipe but haven't yet cause I'm waiting for the flange to come in from Japan. I'm also planning to have the charged air recirculate. I'll post up new pics when it's done.

Ray - you're welcome.

 

^^^^

Any pictures you could post up of the charge pipe from the turbo to the IC? I am curious how it is routed and if it requires bending of the brake lines and what not...

 

Ohhh, so its got a bypass? Thats all I really wanted to know. Thats good.
Im sure a lot will want the sound of a BOV though. Im not one of those people, I like it quiet now.

My Mx-6 had the TurboXS RFL for years. It really is the loudest BOV on the market. *laughs*

 

I'll try to get some when I get a chance.

I like it sleeper too, BUT I do want the air recirculated.

and yeah RFL = Really F*cking Loud; my friend had it on his STI. Shit was insane.

 

Well, either way with the intake pipe being as short as it is cant you hear the Bypass venting into the intake?
Im sure something is heard.....

Good idea on recirculating, James.

 

yeah, u can definately hear the bypass; it's very noticeable. I actually get looks all the time cause I'm running w/ stock exhaust ATM.

 

ive got a jdm fit and mine comes with the bov

 

thats cool, as long as it has a bypass valve (a la kwsc) i'm good. i like a sleeper too, but i don't mind the looks people give either.

 

James you have to make a video
hahaha
