Buying HKS SQV IV - Prices?

[pyr0b0y]

I'm looking to buy 2 HKS SQV 4 BOVs, just the BOV, not the flange or kit. List price on the HKS website is $295. Are there any vendors that sell at a better price? I'd be looking to buy one in the next couple weeks!

I want one to. I had one on my supra and love the sound of them.

I don't know if this holds true for Camaros, but the HKS BOVs are horrible in the STi world. The only BOV I would put on any of my cars is Tial. All around the best functioning pieces on the market. Just my .02

im currently running a 50mm tial on my system. too quiet for me. im rotating the wategates 90* and dumping them out the side (SLR style) to get a better sound, but ideally would like to change out the BOV as well.

any other options out there?

I know FRSport offers them for about $50, but I would prefer to order from a vendor on here if possible

I had a sti...the problem is with Subaru design not hks. The subies require a recirc. System. Hks does not do that with it's design. Hks is a grat product. I'm using vortechs and it sounds awesome.
Whichever one ecs uses with theirs sounds weird. Lol

The STi's run atmosphere vent all the time, I have seen many stock cars with one. Turbosmart, and Go Fast Bits also make BOVs, so you might check them out.

would i need 2 BOVs as well, or do they make a 50mm?

I'm not sure on sizing, but they probably have one. TurboXS does a lot in the import world. Check out this link http://www.rallysportdirect.com/Blow-Off-Valve any of the TurboXS universal would probably work. They make nice stuff with an affordable price tag.

The RFL (Really F'n Loud) is probably what you're looking for. It'll hold up to 35psi!

Biggest thing is you want to evacuate the volume of air before it screws with the tune/makes surge. I know the vortech race bypass is decently stout. At 10psi on a v3 janetty recommends two according to his site. Same thing on a turbo car. Both a 44mm turbo and a 88mm turbo can make 20psi...the cfm is radically different.

I can show you dead lift surge on my GN...6176 big shaft t-netics at 27psi and slam the tb shut...no bov...it bucks and pushes brakes.

That's the main reason why I'm leaning towards 2 BOVs in the first place. Thats the last thing that i need happening....

Ha how did you know? I wanna hear it for sure. Tial is just waaaaayyyy too quite!

btw, did you own a turbo car or still own one? specs?

I have an 04 STi that I wrench around on. I have it up to about 400hp (estimate) because I tune it myself on the street. She runs about 13.8ish at 6000ft . TurboXS is HUGE with STi's, I was planning on building a 9 second car with a stroker motor in the Suby, before I went for American Muscle, so I talked to TurboXS a lot and they told me the acronym. Here's a clip that's a four banger running about 12-14psi.
