if you want a nice BOV for cheap, go for a 1g DSM bov. reliable under heavy boost. most of the BOV's you see, the main diff. is the sound. some work better for low boost, some better for high. me personally, i love the turbo XS RFL and the HKS super sequential. i have the turbo xs on one of my cars, and my friend has the HKS and it sounds bad ------- ***.

XS RFL has got my attention.. I keep hearing good things on this.

I'm currently using a 2ng gen DSM BOV, and it does it's good job, but quietly. If I ever have $120 to just blow, I'll use it on a XS RFL

If you want a loud BOV that is the one to get. Sounds like you blew your tires out when you shift.

In that issue of SportCompact, they give the HKS SS a bad review for having a slow response. I have one my car, works well on an auto tranny.

That is what I run. Nothing is louder! I scare small children and the elderly.

HKS is an awesome sounding bov but I think I'm gonna keep my 1g Dizzum Bove until I boost enough to make it explode.
