So I'm sitting here ready to order a hard pipe set up and i'm stuck with this dreadful decision on adjustable or non-adjustable BOV. Any one have one they prefer over the other? Pros and cons of each?
BOV adjustable or not?

Adjustable ones arent bad, depending on what kind you get. The Type S ones love to strip the housing and will end up stuck at whatever setting they were at, but you dont see too many of them anymore. Depending on if youre running the AFM or converted to MAP, TiAL seems to universally be the most common on builds that people didnt cheap out on, regardless of engine or make/model. They do make a recirculated version now too though. Those use a different spring depending on how much boost you're planning on running
The HKS SSQVs have an obnoxious snap ring that makes them annoying to deal with. V-band stuff is a bit more money, but it doesnt take too much to realize why everyone loves them so much. No gasket, no snap ring, etc.
Dont have too much experience with too many others. If you're mostly stock and arent looking for a boy racer loud style one, there's a Bosch replacement one that I know lots of people tend to go for.

I have a type s. Love it. i leave it on the softest possible adjustment.
It really doesnt matter if its adjustable or not as long as its a quality bov. IF it is adjustable you just adjust as soft as possible where it doesnt open at idle or before you hit full boost.

That's really best for the turbo. I'm fortunate that mine stripped out at just the right spot. There's a few places out there that make knockoff/replacement parts that dont suck for the Type S too (the diaphragm and housing).
