Ok, Im trying to decide on which bov to get. I know with the 1g bov, I can crush it(someone explain this please) but greddy type s is very popular for some reason. Difference in price is about 70$ depending on the person. On ebay I found a 1g bov for about 50 i think, the greddy is about 120, I just want to know if the greddy type s is that much better.

Crushing the 1g BOV allows it to hold more pressure than it would uncrushed (unless you are running a ton of boost, there is no need to crush it). I would recommend the 1g over the Type-S. Save your $70 and get a boost gauge!

The 1G will hold more boost than your stock T25 can boost safely (15psi). It is cheap, and works. HOWEVER, you will have loads more fun with the GReddy; its an event every time i drive my car, and the blow off nosies are really cool, turn a lot of heads, etc etc. Holds boost just as good as the 1g perhaps... so save a little, and get the GReddy, youll love it.

ya go with the GReddy. you may not be thinking it now but you are going to want to upgrade your intercooler pipes too...

I actually planned on getting new intercooler pipes after the bov. Thanks a lot for your opinions and I think ill go with the type s

I have the Type-S myself and love it. Wouldn't change it for anything.

i would recommend saving a little longer and get the upper ic pipe at the same time as the bov that way you dont need to adapt your stock plastic flange for the type s to fit and you can just get a uicp thats flanged for the type s. if you want to save a little money ive seen some type s bov's on DSMTrader.com for less then 120. you can probably even get a uicp and type s for about 150-170
