Hey Guys I was looking at these bovs on Ebaymotors, Just want to find out are anyof these any good? I really like turboXS sound and I dont like the sound HKS makes.
1. DO NOT buy off EBAY unless it is a genuine BOV not some knock off. You will regret it down the line.
2. I suggest an HKS SSQV.
The first one you linked is a TURBOXS Type H-RFL. Known to be prone to leaking like hell. DO NOT buy it. All the other ones are knock offs and are crap. Go real or not at all.

You could try a TIAL bov. However I highly suggest the HKS SSQV.
I have a TURBO XS Type H-RFL. I bought it not knowing of the leaking issues. Know that I do know I should have bought an HKS SSQV. However I bought the XS for a good price. I'd sell you my XS if I could purcahse an HKS SSQV and have it installed.

IPD USA sells singles and Triples as well. Sorry no one makes a double at all.
However you could buy the Triple from GaugePods.com and send it to RodPods. He would cut the thrid pod off and custom mold the two remaining pods to your A-pillar. This would look perfectly OEM. However you will have to shell out a crap load of money.

$50 for the Triple pod itsself and then...
Another VOLVO 850 & S/V 70 2 pod: $ 190 + shipping to you.
I see, what about buying two single pods or buying triple pod and cutting the third off myself, my father is mechanic and has a shop where we can do it.

You will have to do cutting for either one and I'm nto so sure it will turn out looking good.
I say get a triple and don't use the third pod. Just leave it there.

2. I thought the one I bought will fit, but its for Japanese vehicles probably. I bought it on ebaymotors, it said it fits accord civic, rsx 240sx but in description it said it's custom fit, so I thought it will fit s70 too. (Trying to return it.)

Good luck with the Glowshift gauges. IMO they are crap. I would have gone with Autometer or DEFI.
Never buy a product that says custom for a Volvo. More times then not it wont fit. And when a product on EBAY says for Volvo and a certain model be aware that they could just put that so more people will buy it. Buy from reputable companies that know what they are doing.
Are you buying a Narrowband 02 gauge or a Wideband 02 gauge? If your going Narrowband I suggest you stop a think about this for a moment. A Narrowband is just a stupid light show. It doesn't give you good readings on your a/f ratios. What you want is a Wideband 02 gauge. This will be give accurate readings of what your a/f ratio really is.

RodPods is something totally different. What you do is buy the single or Triple gauge pods from Gaugepods.com
Then you send that and your A-pillar to RodPods. He will custom mold the Gaugepods.com single or Triple gauge pod into your A-pillar for a very custom very OEM looking A-pillar gauge pod mounting system. He does great work. I showed you that already. So you would have to buy the single or Triple gauge pod and then spend another $190 or so for it to be custom molded if you went this route.
And for your third gauge if you want A/F buy the wideband please. Yeah it cost $300 something but do you want a stupid light show or something that actually tells you something?

Go for the pretty lights. You wont have a clue what your a/f ratios are.
S70driver
07-07-2007, 05:36 PM
Here are the two A/f gauges you have to pick from. Not brands to pick from, types of A/F ratio gauges to pick from.
As you can see the Narrowband doesn't have a readout. The Wideband does. You want to know actul numbers like the example above. You just don't want to know if your LEAN, STOICH, RICH. You want to know the number associated with each one of those.
When you dyno your car, you should get A/F ratios as well. Because when you send in your dyno sheets to your ECU tuner they will take a look at what your A/F ratios are to better tune the ECU for your car. If all you gave them what a sheet that said the car is running RICH they wouldn't really be able to tune your car to the best they could. However with readouts like 12.1 or 14.5 etc... they can better tune your ECU. This is an example of why a wideband 02 gauge is better then a narrowband 02 gauge. Yeah the cost between both types is far apart but if I was going to do an A/F gauge it would be a wideband 02. I want to know exactly what I am running for A/F ratios I don't just want an idea. And the idea being oh I am running LEAN, oh I am STOICH or oh I am RICH. That is what you get with a Narrowband 02 with a Wideband 02 you get the full picture not just an idea.

There is nothing wrong with buying a used bov. There is a problem buying a knock off bov or a turbo xs bov. Every model txs bov leaks, they are piles of ****. If you want a good bov, look into HKS, Greddy, or TiAL. I have run the Greddy and TiAL on my STi and both have held strong. The TiAL will be overkill unless you are running an immense ammount of boost (I am running a GT35R and it holds). The Greddy is quieter, and looks very nice. The TiAL is HUGE, sounds great, and looks great. If I had the choice of the two to put on a volvo, it would be the Greddy. The TiAL's sound/looks go with all the loudness of my STi (open turbo inlet, catless tbe, 12" wastegate dump tube) not the subtle sound of the volvo.
+1 on a wideband o2 sensor. It is the only tool that will let you know if you are ****ing your engine up while you are driving. Even if you are running a data logger, you still need a wideband to know exactly what is going on. A$300 gauge is cheaper than a new engine.

Also, for some reason the guage shows thatmy 15g turbocharger only boosts up to like 7psi max, maybe because the guage is not 100% accurate or the ecu in the car is from 13G turbo and is set for 5-7 psi. dunno, mystery.

100% Sure it's 15G My father is mechanic, we took it out and put newer one in it. it said on the label 15g
Ok my next question is this. Are you running an HPT turbo on an LPT engine?
I do believe I answered this question above myself. Just from your forum name olegs70glt. Yes you are an LPT engine and you put an HPT turbo on your car.
By putting an HPT turbo on your car your not going to be running higher boost then what your engine is set for. You either have to buy a manual boost controller and control your boost this way and or get an ECU upgrade from the various vendors available for Volvo's.

Hey, no the whole engine including the turbo is from different car,pretty sure its from 850, my father told me it's a 2.3L and it has 15G turbo.

By the way, I found out what was wrong with the boost guage, the vacuum hose that came with the guage was too thin and it got crushed in the pillar, so I had to replace it with better thicker hose. Now it works amazing.

HKS SSQV hands down one of the best BOV's on the market besides TIAL.

S70Driver, you said I can control boost with manual boost controller, electronic one like greddy won't do it?
thanks,

Sorry your going to have to quote me. I am not going to go back in the pages to find what I said.
Anyways. If your car is 1998 and before you can use a manual boost controller (MBC) or you can use a Electronic Boost Controller (EBC).
However 1999+ Volvo's use what is called ME7 and ME7 doesn't like it when you use a MBC. I don't know about an EBC but MBC's it hates. So don't use one if your 1999+. Now you can use an ECU upgrade on the 1999+ models to raise boost levels.

Your ME7 is what I think others call a TCV. You have to bypass it to us an MBC/EBC. It basicly is an EBC valve controlled by the ECU.

"The biggest difference between the ME-systems and the older M4.x systems is the new throttle module, a so called fly-by-wire system where there’s no wire between the throttle plate and the accelerator pedal. Throttle plate is controlled by an electrical motor via the ETM and signals from the accelerator pedal positions sensor. VVT-system is also new and for MY99-01 all turbo engines had exhaust VVT. 2.5T, 24HT and R-line engines have VVT on both inlet- and outlet cam shafts."

I see, what else do you reccomend except hks ssqv, the problem with it is that it makes whistling sound, I like pshh, more like turbo XS makes? any ideas?
hks sells 2 different inserts for the ssq. a gold one and a purple one. you tube it i forgot which one has less of a whistle. they show it on a srt-4 but youll get the idea.
