Where to buy a recirculating type BOV?

[asianbond]

All I see are non-recirculating ones offered?

[HayRoger]

There is some information on installing a recirculating one on the Esprit fact file:

www.espritfactfile.com/

Procedures>Installing a Blow Off Valve.

The 'Easy' procedure is for the non-recirculating type. The grade ‘9’ is the recirculating one.

Nice to know that your Esprit will make a respectful sound when it hits the streets in HK...

Thanks. It looks way too difficult and maybe not worth the effort. Can't go with the non-recirculating type since I don't want to sound like a rice rocket pullig away from the stoplight.....sigh

BOV from PUK esprit racing sound very civilise, not like rocket like BOV from Japan.

i have a sytec fully adjustable one. You can set it so only the highest boosts and it activates.
I thought Dermot was doing a recirculating BOV project?
If you don't mind sorting the airbox out yourself, I can tell you where to buy one from. You'll need to buy all the other bits though.
The other option is to contact PUK and tell them that you want a recirculating one. You will still need to buy a length of 25mm diameter pipe to go from the BOV to the airbox and make your own adaptor.
Hope this helps,

ok guys, is it worth having even if I have to go with a whoosh sounding car?

How much difference is the performance difference?

[superdave]

No real performance difference apart from maybe the gear change, it prevents the turbo from stalling and having to spool up again.
It protects your turbo which is reason enough to buy one. Stops back pressure damaging the turbo blades when you take your foot off the gas.
