Default BOV for Low Boost?

I have an idea on what it would sound with twice the boost, but which one would it work/sound best on my low 4.5-5psi setup..
HKS SSBOV? Greddy Type S? or Blitz SS?

i use the TurboXS Type S with only 5 psi of boost. works great and sounds like a stereotypical BOV.

I personally have never owned a hks(until now) but several of my friends had them, i didnt like them much, but i will be using one at first (until i can find a drag3 upper charge pipe w/ a greddy flange)

So i'll be fair and not talk bad about the hks until i have it on my car.


haha and yes, i have two BOV's....

I use the Blitz DD BOV. I like it. It is good up to 18psi which most people won't see for a daily driver. It has a nice whoosh sound but isn't obnoxious. No wistle or bird chirps. I also like the Turbo XS Type H and RFL. The RFL is better for higher boost applications IMO.

from these files, hks sounds really nice, but would it sound like that on low boost?

i noticed that blitz comes with air filter, does hks have it too?

i like the HKS sequential bov, not the super sequential. The sequential one is the plastic one, it has a nice sound to it too...under low and high boost

get a bosche BOV from autozone. somebody on here is running one on their homemade boosted R, if you search for it you'll find it easy, i'm just lazy.

If you're going to go that route, I'd take a 1g DSM BOV over a Bosche unit any day. They [supposidly] release faster, and hold more boost.
