The UL is a very nice barrel but may I suggest you put the money towards some kind of barrel kit. You will have more bore options and be better suited for any kind of paint in any kind of weather.
Shocktech or Vapor Bolt?
Do you see blowback in your marker? If you dont then you can spend your money else where. The stock bolt is pretty good, unless you have blow back. If you do have blow back I would recommend the Vapor over the ST.
Should i get an egg2?
The faster you want to shoot the faster your hopper needs to be.
Vapor or Red valve?
This is personal preferrence. I have both valves. I have done side by side comparisons and have found in one of my bushys I see about a 10 FPS increase using the Vapor Valve, over the Red. In another bushy I got the oppisite results. The Red valve gave me about a 7 FPS increase over the Vapor. I would guess this has something to do with how well the vent port lines up with the exhaust hole going to the bolt.
My personal opinion is the Vapor valve since it comes with a Black Magic cupseal that is guranteed for life, not to leak.
And does anyone have an eclipse blade trigger?i really want to put it on my BKO
Cant help you here
oh yea and

Did you recieve the new 2K3 board when you got your marker? If you did there isnt much need in replacing it at this time. The only availible option for you at this time is to replace the board with a WAS and completly rewire your marker.
Vapor Works is working on a new board that will replace the stock ICD board but it wont be availible for a few weeks yet.
Good luck with the upgrades.

I don't know many people with those triggers, i think their pretty hard to find now that eclipse stop their bushy and parts. If your looking for a nice frame i would just stay with the stock frame on the 2k3 bko. Its got a very nice feel to it and that combined with a vaporworks trigger would be sweet.

Red or Vapor valve? Both have been proven to be great choices but the vapor has in many tests come out on top, though not a huge difference, but it is less expensive and has a better warranty on it.
Vapor or Shocktech Bolt?
- I have heard great things about the shocktech but have not used it. I do have the vapor in mine and it totally stopped the problem I was having with blowback as well as increasing consistancy. My suggestion, however, would be make sure you need a new bolt before you purchase one.
Eclipse blade or keep the stock trigger?
- This depends on which model of grip frame you have. If you have the first style then the trigger upgraded will be a nice change. The vapor trigger is also a nice consideration. If you have the "2k3" style grip frame the eclipse trigger will not work, but I understand from those with this style have no need to upgrade the trigger.
AS for the Board wait for the new chaos chip unless you have the previous chip then get the current chaos chip.
The hopper, well, as Shootpaint said, the faster you want to shoot the faster the hopper you need.

Go with a Vapor Valve and AKA Mitey Max. I can't believe the difference. My BKO was a gas hog before. No more!
