Best bov/bpv for GTM ST.2 S/C

Tombonombona · 04-22-2014, 02:35 PM

Last summer I had the GTM stage 2 supercharger kit installed on my car. Haven't had any issues with it until last week when I think the turbosmart bov/bpv started to act up, and there are barely any miles on the kit.... From what I have read, people seem to like the Turbosmart products but I am having a hell of a time with mine. So what I am wondering is what would be the best choice of valve for my setup
- Stick with the turbosmart ( just lube it up )
- Switch to TiAL, if so which one ( even though I hear they have issues )
- Switch to an HKS SSQV (not sure if it will work for an SC application, worked great on my subaru )
- Any other suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you all in advanced.

In for results

Sounds like we have the same kind of luck and we both went GTM

First suggestion is to clean up your current one and see how it responds.
If it starts acting up again quickly then look into replacing it, but per turbosmart own maintenance requirements you are suppose to clean it every 6 months or sooner if you travel around/near dust a lot.

That's the thing. I've calculated it out. I have 428 miles on it.... That's **** all and stuff should not be going haywire this early.... Definitely regretting getting that supercharger kit.

do you drive it in winter? if so do they salt up there? its pretty low on the car and salt F's **** up. If you dont drive it in winter maybe upgrade to a raceport? Those have a totally different piston setup and are supposed to kick ***.

Tom, mine gets stuck every few months too. I rarely drive the car, not sure if that has anything to do with it.

I have always had issues with tial's surging on my honda. It was like the bov would not react fast enough. So i switched to Blow off Valves | The official BOV, Synchronic Technology

all my problems went away.

Thanks, I will look into seeing if their product will work for a SC application if my turbosmart one proves to be causing my issues.
