CHEAPEST BOV (dual 1g?) setup for 500whp
I need to source some BOV madness for my BMW build. I will spend less then 50$ on it... so should I try to use two 1g BOVs (will it work well?) or 1 donald knock off? I'm guessing my boost level will be between 15 and 20psi but I know the hp level will be between 425 and 500whp.

Dude your shootin for 500HP and your going to cheap out on one of the most important parts of a turbo high boost system. Come on. Dual 1g's will just leak even if you crush them. Knock offs are great if you like boost leaks. almost and i say almost every single knock off BOV i've installed on friends cars leak like crazy. Run dual REAL hks SSQ's or 1 REAL tial 50mm BOV. Look at synapse engineering their BOV's are super nice and flow great and work well with any turbo app. Don;t cheap out on one of the most important parts. Knock off BOV's make look the same and sound the same but trust me they're not the same.

I thought about buying a real one, but the ching chong meow BOV works perfectly. I would not TOUCH a greddy s or ssq bov. Genuine or otherwise.

Also NOOBS.... with the stock M50 450whp is 300whp on a stock ls. So this is still a budget build.

Make sure you specify aluminum or steel mount flange....
