This is Greddy's "big dog" high boost bov. If you're going to send me a lowball offer then make sure to mention you're on 4g61t.org so that I may give it serious consideration. I have a recirc fitting for it that is neither picture nor included in the auction.

Sorry for the question, but i`m just curious. You said is a high boost bov, but what is the main diferense with a regular bov? I m asking to learn because i ve never heard before of this...

The weak point in bovs and wastegates are the diaphragms. Both of these devices are controlled with vacuum/boost pressure, so each device has a sealed chamber that pushes/pulls a piston. This is the diaphragm. On no-name or knock-off parts, the diaphragms are of poor construction and will fail much sooner than the name-brand part equivalent.

The reason this particular bov is consider "high boost" is because of the size of the upper chamber as well as the diameter, size, and construction of the piston and diaphragm. Just look at this bov. It's huge! Compare its size to the newer greddy bovs like the type s or rs. There is no comparison! Sometimes bigger is better!

Price drop bump. I took the offer off the auction but I'm still open to offers from board members.
