flukey-lukey Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I have a HKS copy BOV, one of my friends has a genuine HKS BOV..they sound the same and theres about £160 price difference. A lot of people will say Greddy 2 row FMIC. I have a cheap one (not ebay) called GTC. It was about half the price of a greddy, never had any problems in 1 1/2 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Fish Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 GReddy intercoolers are regarded to be very good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I'd choose the new HKS SSQV, the Blitz is also good, but a bit more expensive. http://www.hks-power.co.jp/products/blow_off/sqv2/img/sqv2_img.gif Stock twin turbos? Any of the following, depends how much you want to spend: New OEM Toyota side mounted intercooler GReddy Spec-R side mounted intercooler GReddy Spec-M (2 row) front mounted intercooler HKS S-Type (2 row) front mounted intercooler If you're planning on converting to single turbo in future: GReddy Spec-R HG (3 row) FMIC HKS R-Type (3 row) FMIC ARC (3 row) FMIC If you'd like any prices, just let me know.

dangerous brain Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I have a HKS copy BOV, one of my friends has a genuine HKS BOV..they sound the same and theres about £160 price difference. I have a hks copy BOV and it holds air as good as a tea bag would if I used that instead. The name is one reason for the extra £160 and maybe the quality is the other.

dangerous brain Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Thats very true but thats the problem isn't it? As they are all different you can't guarantee getting a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Whats the best Bov to buy? Looking at HKS/ Blitz or Tial! want something which sounds good, looks the nuts, and the overall best buy! Why are you buying one? If you want it to look shiney and make noises then get a HKS or something similar but they are in no way a performance mod. Noticed alot of the intercoolers on the soops, again what is the best buy? and where from?! As already mentioned the greddy units are very popular, you will also need to decide if you want to go FMIC or stay SMIC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I would personally opt for a blitz v-spec cooler....got one on mine and there very well made. Just food for though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
