Cheapo BOV for recirc setup..suggestions?
I was considering Greddy but I'm just to cheap. What kind of decent OEM BOVs are out there guys? I'm switching from a TurboXS. Going to go with a recirculating setup to keep things more on the downlow.
I've seen the Bosch from several turbo cars are popular. Any others out there?

The 1st gen eclipse turbo bovs work well too. I got mine for $25 used.
By the way, if you want quiet your BOV then just plum it back into the intake tract. It'll also keep the turbo spooled between shifts!

Instead of venting the air to atmosphere, you need a BOV with an "output flange" so you can route a hose from it back into the turbo intake. This way you shouldn't hear the pssshhhh.

Exactly. That's not the way mine is now, but with an OEM BOV from a factory turbo car or an aftermarket that has a flange on it will work that way if you want it to. For those interested, I have found a couple of really cool aftermarket Bosch replacements. Not nearly as cheap, but very nice.
