I'm looking for a new blow off valve and mainly looking for the best atmospheric one on the market. Adjustable is a plus. Brand reviews or someone looking to sell would help a lot.

 

This is the one I'm running. I love it.

That's a bit of Money and show no Gains in HP?

 

No gains in HP, but it cuts out the turbo stall between shifts. Faster acting and more dependable than the computer controlled diaphragm diverter. Didn't know what I was missing until I installed it. Then there is the "Whoosh" if you like that sort of thing. I do. Not all improvements add horsepower. Many of them just allow you to use what you have more efficiently. I will have to say though, my Chili Red mirror caps have got to be good for at least 10HP!

 

I've heard good things about the Forge BOV. I'll probably give that one a try. I was looking at Alta's BOV, too.

 

I have an HKS Super SQV http://www.hks-power.co.jp/usa/info/Pid=3956.html

It's loud as heck and I like it! Super easy to install but is a bit pricey. I read on here that it would cause a CEL but I have had no issues at all. Here is the part number for the MINI kit: 71008-LE001

 

WOW. Almost $600 for a blow off valve is more than pricey. I was hoping to spend around $100-200.

 

Yea I bought mine used for $250. It was hard to find but worth it.

 

MINI parts are all hard to find used... Pretty much the main reason mine is almost completely stock still after a year. I can't justify paying over $3,000 for minimal upgrades.

 

I got a good amount of my parts used off the marketplace here. My intercooler, downpipe, and BOV are used. My old Invidia exhaust and AccessPort I bought used too, but I bought my Akropovic and Battle Tuning new. But you have to be quick and constantly check on the marketplace, I sold my AccessPort and Invidia in less then 10 minutes on here!

 

A closed system is ideal for our MINIs and having an atmospheric bad if you're going to tune the MINI down the line. Best option for any N14 owner is get the DV+ which is like $130-150.

 

What he said! ^^^^

Well except for the Chili Red mirror caps.
