APS, Type-s Recirc., Forge, GFB

Hey, can you guys give me a couple opinions here...Which bov would you guys recommend (and maybe why you would?) out of the APS, Greddy type-s with the recirculation kit, forge (closed loop valve or the rs with recirculation), or the Go Fast Bits stealth fx dual port...Im lookin for a bov that recirculates or at least partially recirculates... Thanks...

I'm going to be a typical poster here and say "use the search function"
But to quickly answer your Q, APS Dual vent/recirculation BOV have been proven to work wonders...but aftermarket BOV's tend to leak after an year or so...so lot of people have been also getting JDM MR BOV's (assuming you have 03/04)

the aps dual vent that does recir. works very nice. I had a forge DV on before but my radiator hose was sitting on the vaccum hose nipple and crimping it. but that was just my experience with it. no problems with the aps

I dont think it's ever very loud. In fact, at partial throttle (low boost) when you let off I think it's quieter than stock. I think part of this could be relocating it on the UICP so it has to dump down the recirc tube instead of just being right on the MAF pipe itself. At WOT shifts, I would say it is similar to stock, maybe slightly louder. This is all with an open filter, stock boost, and stock settings on the APS.

GFB bov works awesome if you like a nice smooth sound. It is fully adjustable from fully VTA to fully recirc in 16 positions. The only Forge bov to have is the RS valve. Both these valves will not leak no matter what the spring preload setting is AS LONG AS you have a unmolested vac/pressure line connected to its reference/actuation port.
