Suggest a good bov for 5 psi

I need a new bov for my eclipse non turbo with hahn stage 1. What's a nice one for this low boost setup? The 3000GT one fell off somewhere on the road yesterday and I can't find it anymore... I figure this would be a good upgrade anyway. I want a nice sounding one

Turbo xs sounds pretty good to me. Get the cheap one since you're not running much boost.

Hell, the stock 2g bov shouldn't even have problems with holding 5 psi. I'll even let you have my stock 2g bov for $20 shipped

but $20 shipped? cmon!!!! LMAO you could find a 1gen BOV for $30-$40 shipped Maybe if it was to a honduh owner I would sell a 2gen for that... or more
I wouldn't waste good money on any aftermarket BOV when all ya need is 5psi.....

It was fifteen dollars for shipping, and doesn't the 2g BOV leak pretty much at any psi? Who wants that ugly 2g plasic crap anyway? If he wants a good sounding BOV, I am sure he is also going for looks just as much as performance. Personally, I don't care what mine sounds like. I was just giving him some options.

Re: Suggest a good bov for 5 psi

The 2g bov should have no problem holding 5 psi. It only leaks when boosting over ~15 psi. What are stock 2g bovs going for these days? I just picked a number that sounded decent But if bling/sound is a factor for you, then I guess you should spend $100 on a nice aftermarket one that will do the same as a stock 1g or 2g in your application.
