Default Turbonetics Godzilla BOV

I don't see much info on this forum about this BOV. Anybody running it? I know it's pricey and the Tial 50mm is prefered but Damn this thing has got me interested. Any info on how it sounds? Should it be considered for a high boost race only application or would it work for a street car at only 10lbs? Also what kind of flange does it use? Is it the same Vband as the Tial or does it have a unique flange?

Best off under a serious boost application High pressure blow off.. for a street car I highly recomend the Turbonetics Raptor I have had great luck with it and I found that the godzilla is a bit of overkill unless youa are running twins and about 20 psi..

For what you are building the raptor should do real well by you. Plus they sound great not ricey at all.

you can barely see it on the inlet pipe

it needed pre and post TB reference to work correctly
vacuum aint enough to pull it open

its not chirpy sounding but more of a whoosh
mine came with the air horn and a straight manifold for piping it to MAF
since I use speed density I opted for the horn
