As title suggests; I'm looking at changing the blow off valve on my FQ320. Any ideas on what to go for would be appreciated.

I like the sound of the HKS SSQV, and Turbosmart BOV's, but can't seem to find anything that is compatible with the 'MR' models. If someone could point me in the right direction, that would be great.

Also; I need to know that changing the standard BOV from recirculating to an atmospheric one isn't going to cause the turbo any trouble ect.

Any help appreciated,

Thanks,

Steve.

Anything that vents purely to atmosphere will cause idling and stallin issues, get hold of a dual vent such as the APS or turbosmart. There's nothing special about the MR's overall configuration that makes buying parts more difficult, just buy them for the 8 in general, you won't go wrong.

Yeah, that's what put me into the Turbosmart BOV's; the fact that they were dual ported... It's just that some sites specifically quote that most BOV's they sell are not compatible with MR models. Not sure why though... Ok cheers for the info.
