I don't prefer to blow out peoples eardrums but the SSQV I had before wasn't what I had in mind. It's just not adjustable at all... Same thing you said, all the things I'm looking for is with this bov.
I do have a question tho. You said recir made no sound at all. Now the stock bpv makes that pssst sound. Stealth makes no sound at all when it's 100% recirculated??

Compared to the stock BPV it makes pretty much no sound. Granted you will hear a little noise, just the sound of the air being recirculated back, but not much. I love this part, really, its just a very well built bov and like I said before, the fact that everything is adjustable is really what seals the deal.
No problem. I think gfb is a little overlooked when it comes to guys making decisions about what bov to purchase, maybe because they are all the way in Aus. Very happy with mine and I am sure you will love yours.
Hey guys, just thought I would throw this in because it is one hell of a price, but there is a guy under the evo 1-9 section selling a practically new Stealth FX for $150, thats really really cheap for such a new one, your not going to get one cheaper than that, so any of the guys that were interested look it up.
On a side note, I have been talking with Brett from GFB for about a week and I must say, hands down the best customer service I have ever experienced with any type of vendor/auto part mnfctr. I wanted a softer spring so I could try out something I have been meaning to do with it and he has sent me 3 different springs for the BOV absolutely free. He is extremely knowledgable and very kind. So, as you guys know its hard to find a company that stands by their product and goes out of their way to make the customer happy, you know you will get that from GFB and if for some reason you ever have problems write Brett. Honestly, it took 20mins for me to get an email back from him. Top notch

Sounds good and great review. I didnt even know about this bov.. this might be the one for me. Also customer service is a big plus for me, I hate dealing with these A-holes when you have a problem. Thanks.
Just an update here. As I said earlier, I have been speaking with Brett from GFB and I have received my springs in the mail, taken apart the bov and installed a new spring to try some different settings out and kinda see where I could go with it. Brett was extraordinarily helpful, returned my emails the same day, sometimes within hours, and walked me through the entire process from start to finish. If anyone on here is even considering getting an aftermarket BOV, I would highly recommend GFB. There build quality is second to none, and though they are a bit expensive, you are paying for excellent customer service and an even better product. You really cant go wrong with this. This is the last time I will be adding to this review, but if anyone has any questions, pm me.
hmmmm
well i got my bov in the mail today and it was a diffrent one. i called up MAP and they said GFP doesnt make this model anymore and the one they sent me was GFP's new replacement(i hope this is true).the new one is called the "Response", it has a fixed vaccum line now instead of the movable one. also there is no dial on top for spring tension it is now a allen head bolt.still has the dial for recirc %.it was cheaper than the stealth fx. I guess i should have looked for a used stealth fx.i hope its true what they are saying and not just a run around. i have no reason to think they are since ive heard nothing but great things about MAP. anybody know why they dont make the stealth fx that everybody loved anymore?

Still listed on their page. http://gfb.us/index.php?parentid=pro...ion=stealth_fx
Well I just talked to MAP and it's true no more stealth fx. If you order it on there site you will be sent the new Respons bov. I read some reviews and they say it's a updated version of the stealth that's cheaper and smaller . Installed it today and I love the sound.
