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.

GTFO. Myself and dozens of others that I know personally... none of this my friend of a friend who knew and fucked my mom ----.... have ran RFL knockoffs without issue. These have been setups ranging from 5psi to 30psi.

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....
