$70 Ebay BOV dismantled *pictures*
I bought a "TCC Works" $69.99 ebay bov. Seems like a pretty good unit, solid construction and decent price. I've heard good and bad things about them but so I decided to take mine apart and show you what was inside. There's isn't much inside, but the construction is very solid! Anodized aluminum body, brass piston inside all greesed up, a huge spring and rubber seal around the body where the cap screws on (to keep the vacuum). This is an adjustable blow off valve, but there isn't room for a whole lot of adjustment. But there is a little bit.

I used one of those blow off valves on a setup i did recently for a kid (he supplied parts) I thought it was the shittiest blow off valve, I tried adjusting it either way and I got compressor surge no matter what. The valve kept opening way late.
Just because its anoidized blue doesnt make it special, Function over fashion.. I'd take a 1g dsm anyday over that.

Is there really that big of a difference in BOV i mean obviously there is gonna be better ones and so on but don't they basically perform the same? If you adjust a BOV can't you just get a cheap manual boost controler, wouldn't that be better?
