stop asking for the "BEST" one. there is no "BEST" BOV, different setups perform better/worse with different BOVs, so if you're refering to the "BEST" BOV sound, then be the judge for yourself and search some older threads, i did this and found exactly which one i wanted and suited my setup the best.

This site has sounds/video clips of BOV sounds. Check them out. And go around to where people with turbos hang out and hear theirs and go from there.

Everyone said the RFL BOV is way to loud but I don't think it's loud at all I bought one and am the first turbo'd car (well for racing) in town and everyone thought it would be louder. Some say they suck other don't but lube it before the install. GL

This place has it too and it took me one click to find it SEARCH+ "BOV sounds"= that site.

second link, none of the clips work, all broken links. and IMO the RFL is annoying as hell.
