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 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.
