Any reason for changing the bov you have now? I have a Greddy RS, had some minor issues (user error) initially but has been working flawlessly for a while now...

Im running a McDonald's happy meal SSQV and it is working flawlessly at 22psi... actually I had 2 of the same units brand new, and both had different problems so I combined them in to one good unit.

Hahaha Glad at least someone does. I've had 15 of them destroy themselves. If something goes wrong, the first thing that seems to happen if you try to contact them is that they blame you first.

Glad I didn't try one of those Synapse products. . .

Anyway, one vote here for the TiAL 50mm. Mine worked fantastically with the 11psi spring in it, but now I've gone to bigger cams, and I think the next lighter spring might be slightly more perfect (engine pulls less vacuum now).

Just thinking about redoing my piping and moving my BOV thought about getting a "better" one if there were reasons why one might be better than my Greddy.

I'm a Tial guy too. I don't know what's up with the synapse stuff because I always hear one extreme or the other. Won't even get started on the Tial/Synapse comparison videos.
