I ran a type-s prior to putting on an RFL. I found that I was having engine idle problems with the type-s because you have to connect a vacuum to the intake manifold as well as to the turbos manifold - otherwise it doesn't open the valve up correctly.

I didn't like the noise it made, it seemed ... gay. Plus it was always needing to be adjusted, the nut would keep rattling itself loose from the vibrations of the engine.

I put the RFL on and didn't have any problems except when under low boost (the BOV is not designed for handling less then 10 psi so you realllllllly gotta shrink that spring if you want it to not flutter). But I honestly think it sounds better, sounds more threatening, like a dumptruck coming to squish ya.

I love my TurboXS RFL bov. Everybody tells me my car sounds really good with the exhaust an bov I have. It's also really fun blowing off next to people just to get a reaction. I was going by some high school yesterday when I was out of town and I bet there were 100 people just standing outside and I think everybody looked when I blew off lol. I always love racing people on the freeway too and blowing off right by their window as I am passing them. Hell I even blow off when I am by myself if I am really bored. Tunnels are fun too. ;D

My BOV also drinks corona though, so maybe that's why it is so cool. :P

I like the Greddy type R and the Tial 50mm, both have a pretty unique sound, and are on more of the high end of blow off valves.
