Big Turbo - Which BOV?

Looking for recommendations from people with aftermarket turbos that occasionally want to run elevated boost levels. Obviously, not looking for a BOV that works with MAF. People with standalones only. Thanks in advance for your intelligent and insightful replies.

Yup, I run a tial too. I had a 50/50 aps but it was just recirculating to the atmosphere so it as kinda pointless.

I was considering the APS. Maybe I should rethink?

Well...it seems that Tial is the unaminous choice. What about the Forge. Anybody had any luck with it?

No, I just couldn't use the nice part of it being that it recirculates because my turbo came with an intake pipe that didnt have a place to recirculate. I figured since I couldn't recirculate I might as well use the upper intercooler kit that AMS offered to go with the turbo kit and it uses a tial. I doubt it is actually any better than the APS unit. It is probably good for high boost though.

Do you see any advantages of recirculating vs. venting to atmosphere? Or, for that matter, the other way around?

APS is good if you need to vent back to the intake... if not Tial, it has a 50.5mm piston compared to APS 36mm, both are quality products, Tial has several springs to choose, aps does not but is adjustable. I switched to Tial once I went standalone. Just look at most of the fast turbo cars out there, what are they running... most likely a Tial!
