Why are BOV's so Expensive?

[wilbo666]

BOV helps prevent compressor stalling.

And engine blowing up!

$44 in Thailand would help you contract 'The black appendage' but by god it would be fun.

And would possibly get you some sort of mind boggling hallucinogenic substance with the change which would make the experience so much better...

[tomvale13]

Amen,

So in conclusion, save you BOV moneys for Thai fun!

i used to blow alot of hoses before installing a BOV, they all stayed on after the BOV install, untill i was getting LPG flame fronts flowing back through the pipework

So you're saying it's worth paying the money to help protect your sexuallity???

[driftedmz20]

trust type r $200 + delivery if you look in the right place...

cheap bovs are ok for a standard or fairly standard car but can tend to leak boost under higher boost levels etc

depends on what you do with ya car i guess

[HAVABEER]

i thought blow off valves/plumb back valves where there help insure the life of your turbo's?

i'd say there expensive due to brand names. but then again sometimes brand name stuff is better. ie my king chrome shifter is probably gonna out last the $2 one from go-lo

Has any one tried a porche BOV...apparently they are not that expensive..and close relatively quick between changes...

[tomvale13]
