Blow thru setup

So thinking of going blow thru on my paxton setup, looking for suggestions on bov or bypass valve, I looked at Tials today and they are spendy!

Tial is a good BV, have one on my Blow Through setup for the last few years. Don't even think about being a part of the system, best buy parts are the ones you can forget about.

I ran a Tial 50mm on my F1A set up. Never had an issue with it. It's a tad on the loud side though. And if you look up the Procharger Big Red BOV you'll see the Tial isn't that bad.

S&H has BOVs for half the cost of a Tial. They can setup a lighter spring for centri blower setups like yours. Would be something to consider if you're on a budget.

yes i contacted him on the BOV, i have another question now. does anyone have any pictures of where you mounted your maf flange?

You will want the maf post intercooler. Absolute best place I have found is right at the exit. The long shot through the core and all the plates/fins act like an air straightener for a very clean signal. Next best option is in a straight shot pipe headed up towards the throttle body. You want to keep it away from bends to keep the signal clean.

I actually got my Red Race BOV off an ebay seller. Condition was listed as "new" and it came wrapped in bubble wrap in a blank brown box inside of a USPS box. Think I paid $120 for it which was theft on my part. It's a 50mm 360* blow off, and it's certainly loud. I've seen the red race bypass valves that are directional blow off with a hose attached about 2' and an appropriate sized filter on the other end to muffle the blow off. If noise is an issue, I wouldn't go with any 360* blow off as they are likely all loud.

As with most car parts, you tend to get what you pay for. A crap BOV could damage your motor/blower/piping if it isn't responsive or set properly, even leak by while under boost leaving you scratching your head looking for a leaky pipe coupling. Stick with what's proven, IMO.

I run a s&h bov and love it on my d1sc. Just stay away from barrier on the highway as it is loud as hell. But I wouldn't change it for anything. Great price and I always get complements on how my car sounds.

i saw this when i was reading through your thread beforehand, this is my backup plan right now, if i need to use this location i will have to modify my intercooler to fit a flange and hopefully there'll be enough play in piping to still connect, also not sure if my stock maf with mafia will be sufficient.
