SEARCH! HKS, TiAL, Greddy...they all make BOV's...check their websites out. Check the websites on here also.

And when you say "butterfly bov"...are you saying you want a bov that doesn't make a pssht noise but instead makes a woooosh noise?

non-recirculated bov's are for ricers, make shure you get one with a recirc fitting.

carl h hit it on the dot homie! the butterfly sound is compressor surge. Now greddy and hks make it sound as such when you have that condition. Most other bov's are piston types and sound like a bus such a turbo xs and blitz. Need more info

you can get any of these on ebay. but need the right adapter to mount it on. if you get an hks type bov your gonna need the mount for a 1g dsm. Later homie!

Exactly, save your money and just leave the stock one on, unless your upgrading the turbo with more boost. Not sure how much psi the stock can hold.

you arent listening

let me make it clear

*THAT IS A VERY BAD SOUND. IT MEANS YOU ARE DESTROYING YOUR TURBO*

that flutter noise means your turbo is screaming for its life. stop being a ricer.
