FL5 HKS SSQV BOV release date

[Zenkai]

Saw their prototype version of this at the TAS - anyone have any info on when this might drop for our FL5s?

I know this thread is a couple months old, but we haven't heard a solid ETA yet. Rumor is still around fall/winter this year. Although are you partial/prefer the HKS SSQV4 sound or do you just want more blow off noises? We have had good success with the Turbosmart Kompact BOV (VTA) and have done extensive testing with our tuner to ensure it's good-to-go on our platforms. Here's a quick interior cabin video sound with a Takeda Intake + Turbosmart Kompact BOV + HKS Hi-Power exhaust.

We have the BOV in stock and ready to ship if you're interested in that as an alternative.

To me, this doesn't sound any better than stock with an HVI.

Like others, I'm in it mainly for *that* sound.

A HVI (even PRL) wouldnt be nearly as loud. Stock BPV is quite muted compared to this. And this was taken inside the cabin on a cell phone that fell on the floor when recording

I'll see if I can get an exterior video but its actually quite loud. It reminds me a bit of the Tial BOVs too.

But yes, SSQV4 is a bit different because its got the unique sound and flutter at times. This is more like a sneeze/woosh like the Tials.

Ah gotcha.

Yeah, I grew in the late 90s/early 00s so I got a soft spot for that sound.
