I'm going to recycle as many of the factory parts as possible, but it has been said that I am frugal.

Bosch is good enough for Posche to use on their turbo cars, should be up to the task. Of course they didn't use that model but you get my drift.

I like going for the best parts Ie:TIAL...

But Turbosmart has a good enough rap too!

anything from hks, blitz, apexi, tial, turbosmart, trust, gfb will be fine, try to find a second hand one connected to a pipe already for an easy fit.

I got my hks one for $70 with the pipe and just plumbed it in the standard location.

"Bosch is good enough for Posche to use on their turbo cars, should be up to the task. "

Up to about 12PSI .... I've killed two Bosch Plastics so far .....The Diaphragm splits at about 12PSI Boost .....

I've got a Blitz on there at the moment, but its pretty worn out...leaks a little vacuum at idle now .... Off to get a Tial or HKS on the weekend ....

I've got a HKS SSQV......very distinctive sound....and loud as all hell

using the standard toyota one will make it easier to get past the engineer though wont it?

Yeah I thought about recommending this route to Dan, but then remembered that going with a T25 and a log exhaust manifold means the standard piping probably goes out the window. I said to Dan that you have to match your BOV to the kind of boost your running as they are set to different levels is this correct (that's what I was told)???.
