New BOV for FM II
Hey guys, well I have been having alot of problems with my GFB BOV so I am just going to get a new BOV. My current BOV doesnt have a flange that it mounts to the piping. It has a little protrusion with a rubber coupling that the bov kind of just sits in. The only BOV I have seen that seem to have this same/similar design are the RFL BOV's. Looks like they would fit right into the rubber coupler. Heres a link to the site.

Was looking at the: ( I'm not trying to just get a really loud BOV, looks like
these mount the same way as my GFB. )
The Blow Off Valve Type H-RFL or
Blow Off Valve Type H
or the Blow Off Valve Type S
You guys think that, that will mount up in? The GFB BOV just really sucks. I have read from some other forums that alot of people have problems with the BOV and just end up getting a new one.

Pick up a cheap used WRX BOV and a TXS BOV adapter. You can run 18 psi no problem. It's basically a DSM BOV with a different flange. If you need to run more than 18 psi, you can do a simple mod or crush it in a vice.

Then you just mount the WRX BOV on the flange and put the nipple of the adapter in your current hose.

Measure the coupler to see how big it is, it will probably be 25mm. If so here are some valves that will work:

The last two are VTA valves. I can give you a discount if you are interested.

Hey guys, well so today when I was driving, sounded like my bypass valve was finally opening completely. It still has compressor surge when I'm boosting less than 5 psi or so though. For some reason my turbo sounds a little bit quiter. IDK why it is probably just my imagination. So I guess I'm going to hold off on a new BOV for now.
Also I have heard that if you are running 12 psi + you should have a VTA not a recirc. valve. Is this true?

Ya I need to take it apart and lube it up. 3 days ago is when my Bypass valve actually started opening up all the way and there was no compressor surge, but only boosting at anything higher than 5-6 psi. Also my turbo seems considerably quiter. Do you think my bypass valve could be slightly open? and is making me lose alittle boost?

Its possible. If it was stuck closed for awhile and it has now worked itself (somewhat) free it is definitely possible that it is binding at other points.
You can use the test outlined here:

Its for our valves but I don't see why it won't work on GFBs inferior tripe
I didn't see a location in your profile, have you had a significant change in temperature recently?
