best bov?

Tial, but if you want to go for sound the HKS one probably sounds the best.

When my engine is reassembled, I have a an HKS SSQV III going on it. I'll inform you how it sounds in a month or two.

Ok my $.02 and my opinion,

I am not an expert or a veteran, but I would like to remind supraman317 to ask himself, is sound most important? Surely the purpose of a BOV is not to sound cool, although can be frosting on the cake:icon_wink It is to reduce wear on on the turbo by releasing the compressed air that the turbo creates when the throttle closes and there is nowhere else for the air to go but push back on the turbo fins that where just trying their heart out to spin faster... then you get that "cool" flutter sound that is not so cool for a long lasting turbo.

I plan to use the Synapse/Synchronic, my research would say it is on the top end of functionality, sounds cool but not super cool :icon_bigg

Oh and I can't help it lol - :gotrice:

I like my HKS ssqv, as the sound can be tuned..

different inserts result in different sounds, and you can also remove the insert altogether, or even use a recirculating tip...

I'm using a Forge FMDV004. It sounds ok, and I like the tuning springs and shimming washers. Its a dual piston design so it supposedly uses a counter spring to prevent the valve from leaking air into the intake system at idle.

I've got the FMDV006 single piston BPV design. It's a very sturdy little piece. While it's not as loud as a BOV you can still hear it over the radio.

Of course if you want both (BPV / BOV) :naughty:
