Loudest is probably the Turbo XS RFL...

However, IMO the Tial is the best sounding, and best quality

So, do you want the "loudest" or the "best"?

The thing about BOV's is, they all work. Even the sorry little plastic ones. Usually if there's a problem it can be traced back to a ham-fisted install. BOV's have 2 basic functions. Protect the turbo from compressor surge, and hold as much boost as possible in the charge pipes at the same time. The Tial BOV is the best I've personally seen at holding boost, but it's far from the loudest. Maybe more like the quietest.

you don't want a leaking bov either. And why do you want a "loud" bov, so you can show off to the world that you have a turbo?

I'm running the blitch BOV, the very first one that they came out. Running it for about 4 years now and still working. Really loud.

Highly recommend. Always see it on high HP supras as it is a pull type so it just won't leak. The mounting of it is the worst though. Only gotta do it once though.

There are better ways to show others that you have a turbo.. Mainly kicking the **** out of the car your racing would be the best way..

HKS SSQV....all the way!! Had it in my old setup as well as the one I have now. It sounds hella sweeet at high boost. It's similar to the blowoff valves in the video game "TOKYO EXTREME Zero".

Im going to get the HKS SSQV mainly because it has 2 different sized blow-off valves inside of it..
