Justice: if you can find a model-specific BOV I would say it’s about a 3 . If you can only get a universal BOV that requires welding, then go the pro installation route and save yourself some major headaches…

VR6: no turbo/supercharger = no sound, no bov..

Ben: try Craigslist, amazon, or eBay… u could Google it with the kind of car u have..

I have a 2002 VW Bettle, with a 1.8 L, 24v engine with stock turbo, it puts out 11 psi which is a lil above average… my only question how complicated on a scale of 1 to 10, how hard would it be to install ot would it be better to get it installed professionally..

Any advice would be appreicated…

Paul: Thanks for reading

The differences are minimal, mostly cosmetic as there were only minor changes to the internals. The SQV2 will work very well with your car.

The one in the link is universal so it will fit your Toyota – it will require welding however, so be sure to budget for professional installation costs too ^_^

Hey. Very nice article indeed!

I was just wondering what is the difference between BOV SQV 2 and SQV3? as there is quite a difference in price!
I have a turbocharged Toyota Starlet Glanza V, would it be possible to install this BOV or not?

Because the only one I could find for my car is SQV 3 and it’s quite expensive!

Thank you in advance!

Iwan: You can indeed install a BOV on your diesel. If you can find a model-specific unit then go ahead with the instructions in the article above, but you’ll probably have to weld one on. This is best left to the professionals
