if you're serious about performance, get a recirculating bypass valve rather than a tmospheric blow off valve which does absolutely NOTHING geared towards performance.

Re: best sounding blow off?
I just want to add another vote for the greddy type s (and the knockoff assuming its really identical). I don't care about sound.... it 'sounds' fine i guess... i do like the boost assist though. Just hooked it up yesterday and my really low psi compressor surge is gone now... it'll blowoff at low psi now instead of not... because its adjusted for higher boost.

actually all blow off valves DO do something for performance. you ever watched a boost gauge on a car with no bov between shifts?

Yeah, the only difference is I don't shift like a ----- therefore the engine never pulls enough vaccum to even open the BOV. Therefore a BOV that never opens while racing does absolutely nothing for performance except adds the possibility of leaking therefore hurting performance. Whitey has now just proven that BOV's actually makes your car slower
