Default Big Bubba vs Tial 50mm

Guys I have an A&A kit si trim with the base 38 mm turbosmart bov. I have progressively increased power and now I am running heads and cam with 3.4 pulley no idea what kind of numbers its putting down. (street tuned) I am about to upgrade the fuel system and want to go to a bigger bov.

I am stuck on the tial 50mm from ECS or the Big Bubba. I need room to grow plans are a built iron block 6.0 with a ysi making 950-1k rwhp in the future.

I like the idea of the big bubba just swapped out with the 38mm then maybe if the big bubba ever gets maxxed out running my current 38mm and the big bubba together?

I think the TiAL 50 from ECS is clearly the best answer.

How is it normally put into the A&A kit cars do you guys sell a replacement pipe to swap them out or do I just have it welded into the stock location that the current 38 mm turbosmart valve.

We usually send the BOV with a flange to be welded, but I do not know how the A&A BOV is mounted so maybe the option posted above is the best way to go.

not a dumb question, you would have to contact them to get the exact measurement but it should be the right one. i did not get one from them, one came with my BOV i bought used but its the same thing.

I called them and they said it was about 6.5 inches long. A&A has theres listed as 6 inches. I dont see why it wouldn't be plug and play.

JGS 50 or 60 or Tial..or Jodar 50mm.

I like the JGS because of it's valve design....vs the diaphragm design in the Tial for example. The valve, likely will never have a failure,..then diaphragm could. 50 bucks to replace them,..if they go bad.

To make it work...Simple flange/pipe/bead roll to make any of them work.

If anyone needs quality stuff like this, I may be able to point you in the right direction if this thread didn't already.
