BOSCH - cheap, ok for low boost
OLD METAL VOLVO - cheap, good sound
DSM 1g - pretty cheap, sounds good
Knock-Off Greddy Type-S - cheap, sounds good if you like that sound

Turkey call (for the tru conesseur)

Ditto, if you can afford it. Otherwise, 1g DSM. And you can crush it for slightly higher boost.

Please god dont go with TurboXS. Thats the ultimate rice in BOVs. 1G DSM works, HKS is nice if you wanna spend the money. If you want something not loud and effective, Blitz is great ;)

For your piping, why not just buy a bunch of prebends and elbows and some silicone and clamps and rig it up, and then let Sean or a shop weld you a few brackets on to actually mount it?

i was actually looking at the prebends and stuff today, i just have to figure how many of each one i am gonna need.. And i dont know how to measure it all out or figure out how it is gonna sit and all. But that is a good idea

You cut them to make the right bends where you need them.

I have an HKS racing and a 1st Gen DSM in my shop. Rob's got the blitz. I can show you videos of cars with any of those on there. The DSM one is for sale off the red project car that's in there now. Ill do your piping if you want, just lemme know.

Im going to be doing a lot of that real soon, my car, the red one and the other single kit, all front mounts and 3" AL. The second kit im making on my car is using two HKS SSQs. :eek: woot.

I want a HKS sequential. :cool: The Type S sounds good though, I need something to hold 23-24psi.
