Default Which BOV do you guys prefer?

There are so many choices

HKS SSQV
Greddy Type S
Greddy Type RS
RFL
Tial

What are guys running and what would you buy next/again? I do not really care since to me, the sound is so quick, it does not really matter. What is the cheapest quality BOV?

C'mon guy. I'm not even going to get into that phrase


That being said. Most here use TiAL. Nothing wrong with that. I have one on one of the shop cars in Black 12psi spring.

Since I run over 14-20psi on my road race application, I run the old school Greddy Type R



Very quiet, usability is quite nice, shares the RS flanging and is 47mm. Can't complain with either. Either way, the good stuff is about $200 or so.

RFLs get annoying, but the Turbo XS Type H is decent. I just hate having to lube the piston in the damn thing, so I stopped selling/using them.

I have used Greddy, the RFL, the type H, and the Tial. Greddy Type S was nice, screw either of the Turbo XS's for the lube reason mentioned above, nothing wrong with a Tial.

I have a greddy type-s. Its has a awsome sound. Too bad it cant hold the boost I will be running so Im swapping over to either a type-r or a tial.
