i would definetly put a blow-off valve on any turbocharged car. 5psi isnt that much but it could still cause compressor surge. (plus you get at sweet *** bov sound.) as for which one, it all bascially comes down to what you like because different people will have different preferences.

It depends...are you on a budget? If so, I suggest a DSM BOV. Alot of people seem to like those and they sound fair....but as for "THE BEST" BOV, most of them work the same....it's just up to you...You say you have a GReddy kit for your car, I'd suggest a GReddy Type-S BOV. I have it...and I love it!

The type S sounds a little too high pitched for me. My buddy has the Turbo SX RFL bov and it sounds awesome..one huge gust of air at high boost. It flutters a little at low boost. Im looking for one as well, I was think the blitz DD. Anyone heard this one?
