Which BOV???

I have been looking around and have noticed that there are a ton of BOV's out there. I was wondering if someone had a recomendation on one that has worked well for them and maybe a "how to" for install. Thanks

Just the blitz is a direct Bolt on...all the other ones youll need to buy a flange and have it welded on...Not really a big deal

I like the Vortech Race which Ill be buying in a week..I have the Greddy Type S now...I think it moves the most air out of all the other Blow off valves so my blower wont get surge.....

Blitz DD about $170
Greddy Type S (37mm Diaphram) $160
Greddy Type RS (New Unit with 40mm Diaphram) $170
Vortech Mondo (Moves 600 CFM at 10spi) $245
Vortech Race (Moves 320 CFM at 8spi) $230
HKS SSQ (Will sound different with your S/C then jkklim's Turbo'd car) $200
Trubo XS RFL $no idea

I know air is air but people have said a blow off valve will sound different on a S/C application then on a turbo application...

You can hear a turbo application blow off valve alot quicker than any S/C application bov..

many say the SSQ sounds better on the Turbo, and they dont like the sound on the S/C

I've heard the ssqv on a v2 sc'd max, and on my turbo'd max - sounds the same. I've heard the blitz DD on a sc'd car - i've heard it on a turbo'd ser... sounds the same...

There is a diff in sound. With the turbo setup there is more piping creating a diff kinda sound. And with the hks ssq bov, you can't release air on deceleration like with the other bov's. This is because the hks has a diff design. This in my opinion makes drivability a little more ruff and creates back pressure/ impellar surge. It sounds mean as hell though.
