Any new problems with the RFL BOV???
I have been looking at getting the turbo XS RFL BOV and have searched that they leak but it seems to be when people are running 16psi or more. Would this be that there not keeping it closed or is it cause there crap? I only look at pushing 8psi around town and 10psi when at the track. I did search but everything is really old and I wanted to know if there was anything new?

I have one running about 10PSI and it don't leak at all. I love the sound too soooo loud. One problem I encountered once was 2 days ago it got stuck open. I took the car home and got some WD-40 and lubed up the cylinder that moves up and down. Works fine again

I've used them for a few years now on different cars/setups (upto about 22lbs boost) with no problems whatsoever.......

i have one but only ran at most 12 lbs on it and had no problems, my brother has one on his eclipse and has run about 20 ish with no leaks, he just added the supplied washers.

Thanks everyone I wanted this BOV but heard some bad things before about them leaking but like said before I just thought the people that had them didn't use the washers properly. Thanks again as I will soon be getting one

******* loud man
Im running it at 16psi and this ****** breaks necks everywhere I go
Honestly made my hair stand on end my first month, let my buddy drive my car so I couldhear it from outside

Sounds so ******* mean, I also used some lube on mine before installing
You wont be disappointed, unless your a ***** who likes a nice quiet drive
