stock BOV is leaking bad, whats a good replacement?

I just did a pressure test and found out my stock BOV is leaking something bad at anything above .9 bar. I emailed a few vendors and everyone is out of the MR BOV so what is another good replacement?

Couple of things to note. I'm interested in performance only so it has to be recirculating. I had a Greddy Type-S before and I didn't like how it sounded and it also made my car idle buck occasionly so I'd like to avoid that one.

what else out there works?

I would contact Steve at Nolimitmotors, he might have one or two left.
If not he will get more soon.

I got one and I love it.

I am confused too. I had the stock plastic MR BOV , then I installed a lot of mods and I am currently running around 26PSI peak/22psi steady.
I tried the TurboxsRFL-H and it basicly leaks at higher boost rates, then I bought the Buschur upper pipe with the 1G DSM Bov and seems to leak pass 21psi(1.5 bars) as well.

I wonder whar good BOV would hold the most boost without leaking..

new Forge RS bov is good one. I am using it and It was a big improvment over my stock BOV.the stock BOV leakead even it was brand new when I tested it. It can't hold any more than 18 psi. no problem so far with Forge RS Bov.

To clear things up, just in case, we're talking the JDM MR BOV, it's almost the same as the stock one, only metal. (as far as I've heard)

Just about everyone is sold out of the JDM MR diverter valve (BOV). I have one for sale if anyone is interested.

True and the spring is stiffer as well.

I had an mr leak on me. I'd recommend either a hks ssqv or an aps bov.

I did the single spring mod and messed with the adjustment screw but the car never performed as good as the stock BOV. I still have the type-s but its on my other car now.
