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.

I was considering the APS. Maybe I should rethink?

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

It is probably good for high boost though.
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!
