I would also opt to get the Tial but from the three I would go witht he Greddy R, but be warned that it will not or usually will not work below 15 psi. IF you are running less than that daily then I would go with the greddy Type S

Re: Which BOV Would You Use? (redturbocivic)
I love my rfl on 8.5psi. The best working valve imo is the tial, its probably better than any of the mentioned one but its just not loud enough for me . I would try out a greddy type-rs though.

If it flutters you probably have the spring set too stiff!
My type R holds boost perfectly, also at part throttle, but gives just a whoosh when it opens...

Not to get off topic, but I have TurboXS biggest BOV and am waiting to get it put on my turbo. I really want to know how you get that fluttering
(rattlesnake noise)sound with the BOVs, is it the type of BOV you get, boost, spring or what?

Re: Which BOV Would You Use? (sir boostalot)
Greddy Type R
Most people do NOT setup their BOV's correctly! After allowing my BOV to sit in it's original box for a year, I disassembled it and added a moly based grease to the needed areas. When I was ready to adjust it properly, I loosened the spring until the turbo fluttered and then tightened until the fluttering stopped. I ran the normal Type R spring on my 8~11psi setup for a year without any problems. There are (3) different springs for the Type R [low boost (less than 10psi), normal spring (10psi-18psi) and high boost (above 18psi)] so if person is having problems it's because they didn't make the correct setting adjustments or are using the incorrect spring for their application.
