What do you think (BOV)
Anybody running the Turbonetics Raptor BOV just ordered the wondering if i should get a diff BOV hit me up with a sound clip if anybody can find one
Crappy vid of mine where you can hear the Raptor. I think it sounds better than the HKS SSQV:

the raptor sounds good. sounds like a Greddy Type RS.
The synapse synchronic seems nice, but they are big and bulky and don't sound great either.
of all of them, I really don't like the HKS. It sounds so ghey.
It is more appropriate on a turbo civic.

dont waste the $. .bov's don't do nothing really. .
Disadvantages
Lil info for ya!!
The unique sound caused by a blowoff valve (but not a compressor bypass valve) sometimes comes at a price. On a car where the blowoff valve is mounted after the mass airflow sensor, venting to atmosphere confuses the engine control unit (ECU) of the car. The ECU is told it has a specific amount of air in the intake system, and injects fuel accordingly. The amount of air released by the blowoff valve is not taken into consideration and the engine runs rich for a period of time. Engines with a manifold absolute pressure regulated ECU or where the blowoff is mounted upstream of the MAF sensor are not affected.
Typically this isn't a major issue, but sometimes it can lead to hesitation or stalling of the engine when the throttle is closed. This situation worsens with higher boost pressures. Eventually this can foul spark plugs and destroy the catalytic converter (when running rich, not all the fuel is burned which can heat up on and melt the converter or leave heavy carbon deposits).
although the TIALS tight! haha. .
