You sure you want a brand new BOV? i got a blitz bov 2nd hand for $100 on my car and i'm running safe boost on 7psi
And gauges, you don't really want to go cheapo or you get bad readings but if you can get the greddy gauges for $80 then i would say go for it

Pull 'em out of a Magna at a wreckers... cost you a quarter the price. Just get 'em pressure cleaned.

Give me the model name, how much you want for it, how old is it. I checked out the sound on utube and liked it. Definitly one of the better sounding ones

Just interested in what you're doing to your suspension / brakes / tyres / etc (You've already got coilovers right?)
Any upgrades planned?

yeah i have fully adjustable coilovers with semi racing spring rate, strut braces (front and rear). Tyres im running 225/35/18, might go to 245's on the back, but not sure yet. Basically my car handles F$%ken incredibly in the dry, like a go kart. In the wet not as good but not worried about that for now, its just the tires. My brake upgrade will be just to GPX brake callipers and DBA slotted and drilled rotors.
HOWEVER, for the amount of boost that i will be running i believe that you could easily get away with no brake upgrade at all as the FTO brakes are outstanding as long as you use heavy duty brake pads and the have been bleed properly. i Have taken my car on many hill runs and have NEVER had brake failure and i can assure you, i drive it hard. Also i believe you could turbo an FTO with minimal suspension upgrades. The main reason i brought my coilovers were when i fitted the king springs it just wasnt low enough for me
. At that stage i wasnt even considering turboing

lol, yeah i really havent research the BOV things much at this stage, but i think 4 yrs is getting a bit old, probably rather spend a bit more and get a newer one. Just so you know i have a $40 dollar policy..... If its $40 or under and i need it ill buy it without batting an eyelid if its over ill be a lot more picky hahahahaha

lol god damn $40!! you don't want the BOV to leak, and really is 4 years bad? how old is your engine now? and blitz is a good brand.

Sorry bro i just think $60 for a 4yr old BOV is too steep. No matter what brand. I can get brand new greddy ones for $200
