I have a steel HKS flange for sale if you want. Picture should be in my forsale thread I made a couple months back if you want.

tomj77 01-20-2014 11:45 AM

I'd need a aluminum one since I'll be going with zzp charge pipe. What size flange is needed for the hks?

footballplaya3k 01-21-2014 01:27 AM

No lol it has an aluminum flange. I don't know the size, previous owner had it done.

I'm running the HKS SSQV BOV. I bought my upper charge pipe from Dejon because they already welded the flange specifically for which BOV you chose during the buying process and I of course chose the HKS. Been running fine for about 15k miles. Sounds nice and loud like it's supposed to. Call it ricey if you want. LOL

Omiotek 01-21-2014 09:02 AM

i perfornally think the hks ones are junk. they dont last long either...the synapse and tials are the only way to go. you should recirculate them unless your relocating the maf. the hks does allow that along with the other 2 i mentioned.

but to answer your question hks has a specific flange. vibrant sells them inexpensively.

Louder than stock? Cause stock is pretty loud

Omiotek 01-21-2014 02:25 PM

any bov that vents to atmosphere is louder then stovk

Shanedude 01-21-2014 02:41 PM

Nothing sweeter than a quiet exhaust note and a loud blow off.

yes, because having a loud ass bov going off EVER SINGLE TIME you shift at 10km/h isnt annoying at all

Shanedude 01-21-2014 07:16 PM

You shift at 10km/h?

Omiotek 01-21-2014 08:05 PM

who doesn't lmao

Shanedude 01-21-2014 08:15 PM

I've done the whole exhaust thing in the past just grabs unneeded attention(cops) as well as the drone on highway(most my driving), and people sometimes throw snark remarks like fartcan even though my previous setup cost near a grand when all said n done. Much rather go the opposite route this time around, k&n & forge let the snail/engine do the talking. Though I do want to hear a catted dp in person on an ss/tc and consider going aftermarket dp for the easy gains.

tomj77 01-21-2014 08:22 PM

anyone ever try the gfb bov? it can do both recirc and vent to atmosphere are the same time, to whatever amount u wish. looks like a pretty nice system

taintedred07 01-21-2014 08:44 PM

Anyone have personal experience with zzp's bov?

Omiotek 01-21-2014 09:16 PM

get the real deal....

footballplaya3k 01-21-2014 09:17 PM

My HKS is incomparably louder than the stock BPV.

Only when in boost bro. Learn how to drive right and you never hear it ;)

Fastgti69 01-22-2014 03:30 AM

BTW there is no size with the HKS flange. Its all one size for the SSQV and the package for the BOV will have the C clip and O ring needed etc. Its a pain in the ass to install compared to the Tial Q, but getting the correct spring rate is a pain to. So there is a pro and con in each one.

Here is an aluminum flange.

tomj77 01-22-2014 04:17 PM

So no one has tried go fast bits bov? Looks pretty sweet, lot of options with it.

springs are easy to change. I wouldn't say theres any con to the tials... they are by far the best.

Definitely a lot louder than stock. Looks really nice too. Why else would I pay 300 for it. LOL But it was a PITA to install the c clamp, well, only because I didn't have the right tool. LOL But once it's in correctly, I've been happy with it for about 15k miles now. Definitely recommend it. But get what you want, it's your money and there are definitely some cheaper options out there. At the end of the day, the only that matters is that you're still turning heads when you let off the throttle. :guns:

tomj77 01-23-2014 01:48 PM

Lol well sound wise and looks wise if take the hks. I have a c clamp tool so that won't be hard. Just don't want any flutter or anything. Or leaky bov. Anyone know how they do leak wise ? At what psi do they usually leak

ae_xiong 01-23-2014 02:56 PM

Can't help u there because mine is not fluttering or leaking. Like I said, get it right the first time and you should be fine.
