Anyone have or reviewed the Turbosmart Dual Port BOV??
I've searched and haven't really found anyone using this BOV. I know WORKS is selling a similar one.
Does anyone have this installed or can comment on it? It seems pretty cool...
Due to the ever-increasing demand, we now have a BOV that will vent to atmosphere and back into the air intake. Dual ports with sequential timing allow quieter operation during normal driving loads with the benefit of a Supersonic during race conditions. Supplied with a universal blanking flange to reconfigure to Plumb back or atmospheric dump only Adjustment via the unique Quick Wrist action (no spanners required) Supplied with a 38mm weld-on adapter to suit stainless or steel piping Supported by our Multi-Fit adapters

i have it on my sti. it kicks butt. i didn't think it would give me anything. but the car seems to pull alot stronger and build boost faster. my boy with a mazdaspeed has it also. but through a bit of research he found it isn't really the best application for his car. he found it was mainly designed for my car or maybe the evo's. i've got mine set all the way hard he has his pretty set pretty loose. it's best for 2.5 engines pushing about 14 lbs. but with the evo's high boost it would probably be a good bov. i just like the multifunctionality of it. i can run 50/50 or 100 either recirc or atmosphere and its super easy to adjust

Cool...sounds like it's a nice piece of hardware. Do you have any idling problems when running at 50/50 or 100%? Will it hold 21psi?
If any EVO owners have this installed, feel free to chime in

Get in touch with paul over at evo-ny. His forum name is EVOLUTION/RC51.
He had it installed and tuned by Al. I saw it in person saturday at our BBQ.
He can tell you alot more about it.
I think he has tested every BOV imaginable and is finally set on this one.
Its 1/2 and 1/2 as I understand.

no idling problems, i run it 50/50. as for 21psi i don't know. i've been trying to see a fitment guide or vehicle specific application chart but i can't find one. the only ready to use versions i've seen are for wrx's and sti's. so if you do go for this bov make sure you do your homework on it
