I just bought my brand new greddy 19-t turbo kit. I got a really good price on it only $1,100. I have a greddy intercooler turbo timer and turbo gauges but all I need now is a BOV. I am kind of low on money right now and I was wondering if anybody knows any good sites for inexpensive BOV's not cheap but inexpensive. I wanted to go with the HKS but I can't really afford that right now. Does anybody have any suggestions. Would it be stupid to just get the turbo installed and wait on the BOV??? Throw out some opinions...

you're going be at stock boost, so bov isn't really neccessary untill you increase your boost. but i would go with greddy type s for 165 at city-speed, and don't forget to buy a flange and have it welded. turbo isn't cheap so you better have so backup money in case something goes wrong. so you planning on installing it yourself?
i have 300 put aside for installation and he has his own laptop setup to tune it...... i heard the 1 g dsm's are really good just wondering say i purchased that where would i find a flange to match that bov and also are the 1 g dsm's universal could somebody send me a link or something?
i did a search on ebay and all the 1 g dsm's bov are like made for eclipses or talons or something like that does anybody have any idea what they sound like or if they will fit my greddy kit? and what does it mean when they say uncrushed or crushed?
go to a junkyard, buy the intake pipe with the bov and flange on it, or make a model of the bov flange and have a machine shop make a flange. if your only running under 12 psi, you can use a 2g dsm bov, and you can get those on a trade for a big mac.
so the 2 g stands for second generation dsm is??? they all come off eclipses and talons... and this ones made out of plastic right??? is it going to loud???
the 2g is plastic, its not a great piece, but its cheap as hell. i dont know about volume. the 1g is quite loud. and the 1g can be "crushed" a few mm to increase the spring pressure and let it hold more boost. 1g is 1st gen, 89-94, 2g is 95-99.
gotcha i see.... hmmm.... well i will look into and see what comes up.... it worst comes to worst i wil just get the get installed and save up for the hks... will the greddy kit running stock psi have any harm in running it with out a BOV
you can get dsm bovs for 20 bucks.. there is no reason not to run one and damage your turbo.
do you think you could point me out a side that would help i can't find anything on my searches
do you guys think this would be a waste

LOL???????
running a GReddy 19T @ stock boost isn't gonna hurt anything at all. That 6-8 psi isn't building enough pressure to damage the turbo. I'd save and get the BOV you really want.....no sense in building with something other than whats preferred......or else you'll end up buying one for now and upgrading later
alright yeah... i just want to make sure there's no harm i hear bad stuff about something to do when you don't have a bov the turbo spins backwards?????? i dunno but is this one s**t?

I dont know anything about that BOV, sorry man. The BOV just releases built up pressure in the charge pipes......too much built up pressure (like compression) will blow something.....and nobody wants blow motors or turbos. Also, the loudness of the BOV depends on how much boost you're running. My friend with a 95 SOHC-T and intercooled, was running at 4-5 psi during the day, and you couldn't hear a thing except the turbo spoolin'......but at night he turns it up to 9 psi and his GReddy type-S BOV screams!
but isn't the 1 g made for higher psi then what comes stock?
