Default Opinions on Best BOV???? (not the sound)

I searched a few different topics and found nothing.. If anything it was how they sound. I just want the BOV that has best functionality...Over all responsiveness....Thanks for any help...

TIAL.

will open at 5psi, and hold 30psi reliably. Flows enough to save the *** of pretty much any turbo out there.

I'm using a Turbonetics Godzilla, nice bov, holds good, sweet to look at, must flow tons of air because you can't even hear the thing until you get to about 15+ psi, but I do know it's working because the compressor never makes a sound when that big 90mm throttle snaps shut.

what about the Greddy Type-S or the HKS SSQ? I see so many cars using them but not one vote on here for either one. Why do they seem to be so popular?

i have the apexi twin chamber and i love it. sport compact car did a test on BOV's not too long ago. the best performers were the apexi and the greddy type s. the worst surprisingly was the hks ssbov. they didn't test the tial though, but from what i hear, they are excellent.

mainly because they sound nice, and they flow enough for the normal boost levels. my vote goes for TIAL!

1g's are definitely the best bang for the buck, but they're not quite as good as a Tial.

can you quantify this or is it that more expensive items are just better? i guess you own a tial and therefore it is better?

damn, and I have an HKS SSQV sitting brand new in the box cause I thought it would PERFORM well at 7psi and then also at 17psi once I got my spare engine built. Looks like I should sell it and get a TiAL. I don't care about sound. Sound won't help protect my SC61

Would a Greddy type S be ok with a Greddy kit at 6-9 psi??
