blown_volvo850r Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 So I'm finally getting rid of my fake HKS SSQV and giving it to my roommate for his MKIV GTi. It leaks but I doubt he cares. I'm looking at a few bovs other than a real SSQV. GReddy Type-S (if I can get my hands on one since they don't make them anymore), GReddy Type-R (street version), Turbosmart Supersonic...I want the same high-pitched whistle you can get from a Type-S. I heard some sound clips of a Type-R and it sounded extremely hot, but GReddy recommends 260-450hp ranges for the street version, and I'm wondering if my setup would be sufficient enough to get the true sound. I wasn't big on the Type-RS as it's just a weak sneezing sound, and the Turbosmart sounded pretty good. I'm getting all my hoses hardpiped when I change the bov, getting new front and rear O2 sensors, getting the pre-O2 exhaust leaks taken care of, and dyno tuned so it should be pushing a good 300bhp+. Any suggestions? I've heard the Type-S on a few cars and it sounded great, but getting one might take some searching. The Type-R stutters a bit I think.

DARKSIDE Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 If your not going w/ the HKS SSQV...then the next option is a TIAL...but I'm not sure if you thinking along the lines of performance, because the HKS SSQV is hands down one of the best, not to mention the TIAL...except that w/ the TIAL, you'll have to swap springs depending on your setup...

BlackT5 Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 With the Tial, you just order it with the correct spring for how much vacuum you pull at idle.http://www.tialmedia.com/documents/w3_tial_bov50_sp.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
