Mr Bov stalling your car? x brand, sucks? Try APS

I felt the need to inform those who are having MR Problems to check out this BOV.
I felt the need to inform those who are annoyed of the gameboy noises/shutter from the Greddy S. Check this Bov out.
Blitz stalling your car? check this one out.
Blah blah...

I bet right off the bat, this post sounds like an infomercial. Well, you're right. I just wanted to comment on this BOV.

Alittle background: I recently took out the plastic POS and replaced it with the Mr Bov. I noticed right away some characteristics i didnt like, but were tolerable. Then came the engine dipping (frustrating, but somewhat tolerable). Then came the stalling...that drew the line.

My friend suggested using his Greddy S. I liked it for the most part. No stalling, but the nintendo gameboy sounds pissed me off and the flutter when taking your foot off slowly in 5th, annoyed the hell out of me.

I was looking around for BOV and came across the APS. I would love to put MY hose into this thing, clamp it down and go for a joy ride, BUT, BUT! its just way too tiny for this device and it would probably rip me apart.

The design is pretty sexy. Infact, i found myself taking many sexy shots of it and putting it up on the computer in a slideshow as material to touch myself. It made me feel kind of dirty, but then i remembered how much i paid for that prostitute in the city.

The Pro's:
Sound - Very nice. It comes in two flavors so far, from my testing: A Higher pitched, MR/Stocker and a unique sound under light boost, cant really describe it, mixed with air brake, blow off.
Whether you take your foot off slowly, or fast - NO SHUDDER.
Nice Design
Two ports for venting. One under light boost and both for heavy.
Slightly quieter then both the stocker and MR.
No Nintendo came boy sounds
No Stalling
Nice throttle response
etc etc...

Cons:
Price - $270
if you hate aussies, this BOV is not for you.

and now back to touching myself...


edit

hopefully this post will help those in the same boat as i was. or atleast, educate them on an alternative.

I have the APS blow off valve and I like it. Great craftsmanship and sounds great...not too loud....I do have one question to the No Shudder comment....what does that excatly mean. If it means that the car jerks when you take your foot off the gas fast while your car is building boost...then my car definitely does that....if that's not the correct meaning then is anyone else noticing that(jerking) behaviour? Thanks

I think the "shutter" he's talking about is a fluttery sound when letting of the gas under low boost, (compressor surge?). as far as the jerking, i have had no prob's... i'm running the M/R bov in my 03. works and looks great with no stalling or surge problems...

Change springs in type s. I know type r is not for the evo, or stalls it. Type s is probably geared towards the evo...

love my APS too, as said earlier, nice throttle response, good sound, no more stalling like stock one did after some time. Some say pricey, but it seems like all the dual vents arent cheap paid around $270 for mine, was worth it to me.
