I haven't had the car long and last night I saw a forged bpv that looked like mine and thought I had a forged one. So I took a picture and it sucks but was wondering if anyone could tell based on the picture http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r179/b1zz4r3/38416be9.jpg

 

forged from look of it. stock is like a plastic cream color

 

Hell yeah that what I was thinking! I need some turbo noob answers wtf is a bpv? Does it replace a bov?

 

bpv= bypass vavle
bov=blow off vavle

If your car is stock it has a bpv.

 

What's the benefits of a forge one?

 

It looks pretty.

That's really the only benefit I see.

Some will say that the diaphragm will tear on the stock BPV, but you can replace it if it does. The Forge unit has to be greased, so it requires the same amount of maintenance, if not more, and costs a buttload.

 

It is stronger due to being make out of metal and not plastic like the stock one. But other then that it does the same job.

 

You don't really get to see it lol, but ya it does look nice.

 

i have bunch of stuff done including gms1 and have stock one and like the saying goes if it aint broken dont fix it lol

it just makes a different sound and its for cars that have a really high boost tune from what i have heard

stock is fine

 

stock sounds better cause it has like 10 different sounds, forge has like one. boring lol

 

Haha makes sense, I didn't have to pay for it probably the only beneficial the guy did before trading it in. Besides the dip cans and cig boxes in the dash -_-

 

Sound is a tad louder and it's made of metal, metal inside as well with a spring instead of a diaphragm so no need to worry about tearing. As for greasing comment, never heard if it and yeah overpriced.... That's for sure

 

Oh yeah and yours is mounted upside down... the vacuum line is supposed to be facing down
