Default blow off valve not sufficient... just buy another and have 2 or one good one?

i was boosting like 18-20psi on my h22, i have a blitz SS BOV and it says its rated to only 18psi.

when i drive in low boost it would just make a normal whoosh sound like it should. but when i reach full boost it makes a high pitched whoosh and it studders or chatters while it blows off. its not smooth.

i know tials are good and can probably handle it. but instead of spending 200 for one can i just buy another blitz SS on ebay for like $80-$100 and run 2 BOV's

can the greddy handle 25 psi... the type s or rs... i know the type r can but its freakin huge

not trying to be ricey just dont wanna mess up my brand new turbo

well you could sell your current bov for around 125, then buy a tial for 200 and thats only $75

Greedy RS is made for higher boost levels and looks the shiz to. I would get it Blitz BOV's are known to leak.

Blitz makes hard springs for that BOV. I just bought one for $16 shipped.

with the harder spring, i understand that it wont leak while boosting. but it will also make it release enough to not surge?

my BOV isnt leaking i just dont think it lets off enough

the blitz opening is really small
