Should I buy...

Blitz BOV for $140 on a stock(just hks pod) S2 R33.

I know there not a performance mod but thats a pretty good price?

[P1E]

Ohh, is this price for everyone?

[NickR33]

Sorry I should have made it clear...I have been offered a s/h Blitz BOV for $140 I just wanted to hear some opinions if this is a good price and if the Blitz BOV's are any good etc...

I dont care what anybody else says/thinks, BOVs are a performance mod. A correctly adjusted BOV will reduce lag between gear changes, you cant adjust the stock unit, which is only designed for stock boost.

Bottom line, it decreases lag, and will protect the turbo better than a stock one - so is a performance mod. I noticed a definate improvement when I fitted mine and correctly adjusted it.

If you dont want to be defected, just make sure you plumb it back.

Sounds good to me...

thanks guys...I guess I can always take it off again if I don't like it:D

Maybe but not the blitz one.

I had one on my car for 6 months, and now that i took it off it drives so much smoother and doesent cough and splutter between gear changes anymore

Be prepared for stall, running rich and big flames out your exhaust with the blitz unit.

mmmm....won't bother then, my 3"dump pipe and high flow cat are on there way soon... might just save up for the cat back and muffler.

Quick question (maybe a stupid one)...can I install the 3" dump pipe and cat and just leave it stock from the cat back or does it need to be 3" all the way?

[Guest INASNT]

u can do it in stages, but u r better off doing the cat back first then the front pipes coz the back section is the biggest restriction.

PS. U sure u aint chocolate tittles nick??

INASNT, did you try adjusting the blitz one? Seems pretty bizarre that a reputable jap company would produce rubbish.... just goes to show I suppose:)
