I will be switching my BPV's for BOV's and was wondering if anyone knew where I can get either of these from?

Thanx in advance

they quit selling it for reasons that you probably know. I asked them about it at one point and they said that they don't advertise it anymore because it caused certain problems. He said he could still sell it to me at that time. I don't know if they even still sell it now. I'm not sure, but I think he said that they were going to totally quit selling it.

If you really want a BOV and don't care about the consequences, you should go with a Greddy or an HKS SS BOV. They seem to be quality units and I'm betting they have sweet sounds too.

Hope this helps.

Is a BOV really dat bad for the car???

It will make you run rich which is bad. If you disconnect the MAS you won't run rich, but you will throw a code and your car will more than likely go in to limp mode, which sucks. So basically a BOV is not really worth all the trouble just for the sound. If you really want the sound bad and you just have to have it, buy an intake. You'll be able to hear the BPV and it will sound like a BOV. I've been in a GTI with an intake an I can vouch that it sounds just like a BOV and it is rather cool. Hope this answers some questions. Good luck.

But your air-fuel mixture will be off frequently. That reduces performance. Do you want that? However, I assure you that if you had a BOV, disconnecting the MAF (as suggested above) would only make your problems worse. You'd be better off leaving it connected and thus your mixture would be correct in steady state, just not at other times.

it looks like i will pick up forge BPV's then and put in a drop in filter for now. Not sure if i want to do a whole intake being the engine bay is so hot anyways.
