I am in the market for a new BOV and was wondering what people are using and what i should stear clear of. Clearly I am not buying not a cheap ebay anything, but any help would be appreciated. I am only running 10 pounds of boost right now, but will be running 15-20 next year. I am also looking to recirculate and not just vent into the atmosphere.

Thanks in advance

Corey

GReddy are not bad. Bing just beats on his car to hard!😛 I run a GReddy type-R. Nice flutter sound like a compressor surge, nice also because it will barely go off if your running under 12 PSI. Highly recommend

I went with the racing one for the better preformance the hks ssqv i felt opened to easyly and i felt i was getting more lag and was hurting response to the point i would sometimes disconect it at the track.

got the blitz DD (double discharge)

Sounds like compressor surge at low throttle…

And makes a nice PSSSH at WOT.

Holds boost nicely (stock boost), looking foward to seeing it work at 12 psi!

I’ll see to that, thanks…

What bov do you guys recommend for “high-boost” application…say 12 to 20 psi…

Another question I have is when should the BOV be set to blow off?? I have heard at 1psi and also at 0psi.  
Thanks again for any help.
