get a single large bov like a tial 50mm or turbonetics godzilla, not a small cheap one and you will be fine.

Depends on the setup. Most times you can get away with a single, but it depends on the piping configuration.

we have pretty much decided on either the tial or the godzilla.. i dont know if anyone has ever checked out www.slowboyracing.com but they have quite a few bov's on there.. i know they are a busher site but hey we need our parts from somewhere right??? we are going to start out pretty low on the boost until the new motor is ready probably right around 8 lbs. will we have any problems running such a big bov with lower amounts of boost? i am really leaning towards the godzilla i think its comes complete with everything to mount it up.. wish i could find a sound clip of it.. also i have searched and searched but i cant find any info on where the best spot to mount will be.. i know before the maf but i guess anywhere between the ic and the maf??

Slowboy isn't a Buschur site, they have nothing to do with them. I also vote for the TiAl BOV. They really are top notch. I bought an HKS before the TiAl came out, but my roommate has a TiAl on his and we both have TiAl 40mm wastegates on our cars. I just run a little 65 lb/min turbo though.

I don't know if the godzilla is any better (I have only put the Raptor on a few cars), but I am unimpressed with most of Turbonetic's WG's and BOV's. They aren't terrible, but TiAl is definately of higher quality. I am sure either would work for you though. I do like the V-band on the Godzilla.

I'm running a single 50 on my setup and it *should* be fine. They're not your average 60-1s either though. If I have to run a second one or switch to a bigger HKS, I will.

Yes the BOV goes before the MAF. I'm running the TiAL and it makes the PPssshh sound and looks good and works great.
