I have one, and think it's superb. Expensive though - if you can stomach the £180 or so that they are, ATP Turbo seem to be the cheapest - Click for the valve, and Click for the adaptor you need.

Shipping is the killer at $95 <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Worth it though, IMO.

Some of the ones on ebay do not come with an adaptor.

thanks guys. also, are all of the hks and blitz bov's suitable for the coop or do you have to get a specific one?? for example, we can only use the twin piston (DV26) and not the single piston baileys dump valve.

sorry for all the questions!

I have the blitz, although I've never actually drove the coop yet. CoupeDave is running one with no problems though.



Coopless!

i promise this is the last question, but is it true that the blitz makes a sort of "rally chatter" noise compared to the usual pssshh noise from a baileys or hks???

The dual drive that I have Makes a chatter at lower revs, and a Loud crisp Tisch on any proper boost. It's <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/love.gif" alt="" />

Some info on the sound here

I like them turbosmart ones that you can easily adjust with a dial. They are stupidly LOUD though!

That site's got a few of them on there, quite handy

The HKS is the really high pitched squeaky one from "the fast and the furious" isn't it <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> me no likey.

right, ive just bought the hks, but the only fitting guide i can find is for the aftermarket recirculting dump valves. am i right in saying that it is fitted in the same place, just like the recir valves, but you have to bung up one of the pipes???
