velluto Member 40 Member For: 19y 7m Gender: Male Location: Hamilton, NZ Posted 20/11/07 11:28 AM Posted 20/11/07 11:28 AM I also went with the Stealth for two reasons. 1) the quality of the GFB gear is awesome. You just have to pick one up and handle it for a few minutes to appreciate the machining tolerances, use of quality materials etc. And 2) I wanted the option of full PB or full atmo. As much as I love my throttled rooster sound, I also find it tedious at times and having the option of a completely silent car is worth the extra cost of the stealth. The valves and fittings are not the biggest around but then keeping a decent amount of boost at the butterfly is essential for throttle response and minimising lag (If you are reading this Simon - I finally understand why Nizpro dont supply BOVs as standard - I can minimise it by running the stealth at full atmo and the spring screwed down to the hardest setting - like not having a BOV at all in other words. You were right!) To compensate for the small fittings on the Universal Stealth I replaced the base with a 38mm one and also replaced the PB with the 33mm fitting. Both available as accessories from GFB.Hope this helps.Velluto

I am venting 100% to atmosphere. There is a guy selling a 200SX one off ebay for $280 delivered. I called GFB and they said that all you need to do is to change the adapter. The parts (including delivery) was $52. So I managed to pick one up, fully delivered for $332, which is much cheaper than $540!They are very easy to install, all you need to do is to pick up a section of 25mmID tubing to extend it a little. It is quite tight to install. Looks sweet and sounds unreal. If you keep the revs below about 2000, it wont blow off but anything above that, you just smile. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

I installed mine last week after it arrived. I didn't use the blue silicon hose that was provided in the kit, I had lots of the correct size tubing in black so I just cut a new section up in black. Mines 100% full atmos too, and my spring is about 1/3 tension. I found that if I had it too tight, it wouldnt vent till higher rpm (which isnt too bad) but it would really dose (flutter) a lot till it actually vented at the higher RPM's.. I prefer mine to vent around 2500-3000rpm upwards.
