they are all over ebay... the same one.

search for "chrome bov" on ebay. the going rate is 49.99 for the one i got. its the "typhoon shage II BOV" the turboxs ones are just over $100... the apexi and other name brands come in a kit for our cars and are almost $200.

this cheap one like pictured above sounds great.. i had mixed emotions when i bought it but once installed it made me smile. Our cars build boost so fast you can hit the bov all the time.. it makes the ricers look real fast tho.

just buy one.. its $50! i mean come on!

Yea i dunno about those BOV i heard they sux *** and they dont do what they advertise on the page. Id jus buy a cheap turbo xs type BOV. But then again if jaared had one and it woorkes good maybe its just works better on rx7 rather than 3000gt/stealth cars.

it says on the page that it good for lower boost cars 5-15lbs

plus the stock bov hose is the same 1" size so it plugs right in.

Since it uses that same size hose as stock, it won't flow any more. This BOV is only for those who want to make noise and attract attention, not for those who are running higher boost and/or a bigger turbo and want to protect the turbo from surge.

same as the turbo xs... the typhoon people do offer a stage III as they call it... the mounting thing for it is bigger... 1.5 inch I believe.

it should be fine for anyone running 11psi or so(and the mods it takes to run it)... after that you need a ems and fmic and all to be safe, now at that point i would buy a better one to put in the fmic piping.
