I'm sort of thinking of the HKS SSQV. It bolts right up, correct.. aps tt

 

You better ask maximumZ he knows alot about it because he was using the SSQV, but i guess u need to get the EVO 8 SSQV kit or the Supra kit ? not so sure which one exactly but i guess one of them got the needed stuff to connect it to the APS pipe.

 

You just need to get the recirculating version.

 

recirculating.. meaning have it go back into my intake thingy? that's how it is now, but i would like to open it up. didn't know there were multiple versions.

 

You'll need the HKS flang to be welded onto your piping.

 

What does BOV mean.

 

Blow
Off
Valve

 

No really?

 

Really!

 

you are running Fcon (MAP sensor) so you don't have to worry about recirculating it. Just go to home depot and buy a 1.25" rubber leg end to cover the hole in the intake.

that said, the SSQV is a crap BOV. Your APS BOV is of much better quality and performance. To properly attach the SSQV you would need to have its flange welded to the charge pipe.

If you are wanting to change BOV, give the synapse one a shot. Buy the evo attachment and it will fit right up. You will still need plug the intake, but other than a little work on the vacuum line routing/hookup, it will be an easy swap. It is louder than the APS, but doesn't sound like crap like the SSQV bird sqwuaker, and should not leak like the SSQV

 

interesting input. didn't know it had leaking issues. If what you say about its quality holds true, I would not want to mess with it, especially don't want to weld on the flange. I actually like the sound of it and that's why I've considered it.

 

personally never ran one as I was highly advised against it from a tuner. My subie buddies think the SSQV is a joke of a BOV as well. I personally don't like the sound of it... so right there it has 3 strikes against it IMHO.

The APS BOV is really good in terms of quality. If you are looking for something a bit louder, actually fairly loud, get the synapse with the adapter for the evo. Much easier install than welding on a new flange

 

I ran the SSQV (Older Version) on my DSM, and it worked and sounded great. I had the old Greddy Type S on it before that, which had leaking issues. I think HKS fixed a lot of the issues that were going on with the old valve when they re-released it a few months back.

 

I think my IQ just dropped readin this thread.

 

SSQV owner and no leaking issues.

 

and how do you know for certain? You actually pressure test yours?

 

Yes.

 

I bet you did

 

maybe so sour on SSQV because so many clones out there? I once had a clone that leaked, switched to HKS and leak gone.

 

'sour' because they sound like crap... they don't call them the bird sqwuaker because they sound good. That, and every ricer and their brother has one
