I don't know if the kit comes with one or not...I'd assume it would. The size is really going to depend on the amount of boost you plan to use and the size of the turbo.
No, his kits don't come with bov's, you will have to get one. He likes the Greddy Type S bov, that's what the flange on the upper intake pipe is sized for. They are not to much, I got mine off ebay for about $150.

sorry to jump in. i dotn even know how old this thread is, but are we talking about the tom with the beast at focuspower.com? and since this is a bov thread would an apexi twin chamber work well? im looking to get the f-max kit. ive been readin up and its a very versitile kit and come with enough to get me goin for less than most kits. after i turbo i plan to lsd, clutch, flywheel, cam gears, internals and boost controler and some other goodies, i havent decided yet, i just want the turbo for now. do you guys know about this kit?
seen it on one kit, turned out ok, fitment wasn't as great, and the manifold and placement is a bit awkward, depending on the turbo you get though you can make 220hp or so. At least those are the numbers I've seen.
IIRC, the F-max kit is rather decent. it has some quirks like the placement of the turbo. I think it sits on top of the manifold as opposed to under. this allows for the oil drain to tap into the oil separator without an auxillary pump. Like any other kit though, it does require tuning from someone with know-how. I would also consider buying a J&S safeguard.
TXFO, I may have asked you this before, but have you read Maximum Boost by Corky Bell? If not, you ought to pick up a copy...lots of good info on turbo's.
please! I checked at the library today and all I found out was that I owe them 14 dollars from some books I checked out in 1998. man, they never forget!
There are a few copies going on ebay right now or you can get one from Amazon.com...that's where I ordered mine...gotta read up a little for the SVO that I'll be getting soon
Anyways, if you would like to borrow it, PM your address and I'll get it sent out to you, but of course, I would like it back cause I'll need again.
ya, ive been wanting that book for a while, i just havent gotten around to geting it. thank for the review, i liked the placement of the turbo the best. and the number ive heard are 270 at 15lbs. and what is up with focuspower.com it doesnt work.
man, they never forget!
