Default which BOV to use?

i was just wondering if there is any rules for BOV or are they all the same. i want to run around 7-8 psi and wanted to use a blitz blow off valve, would that work or are those for cars with higher boost levels?

If you want a really cheap new one, go for the plastic Bosch. Won't handle high boost though.

Some manifold have an extra hole, but you can T it off any vacume source on the intake manifold.
