In trying to fix my fluttering problem, and after trying all the springs, I went the porting route (only the screw on tube) , DO you still honor the refund policy? If you do then I comend you on backing up the product in a proffesional manner.

Removing the softer of the two springs in the GReddy and backing the screw out quite a ways can make it pretty close to invisible but few things behave as well as the factory BOV. Any BOV that is VTA on a 4G63 is going to have severe drivability issues in certain conditions.
Trustz, don't confuse these poor guys; you could run any BOV on a car configured for MAP (HKS VPC) and have few issues. The WRX doesn't have near the issues with VTA as the Mitsu either. Some guys install their stock BOV backwards to make it hold more boost.

Until you turn it up past 20 psi.

Did anyone actually try using the Greddy with the fast release port hooked up? This is equivalent to that little hole on the underside of the 1g bov. All you need is a pre-tb boost source. Nobody I know with a Greddy that's hooked it up properly has had any gripes whatsoever, even when they cranked that thing down tight.

No, the 1g's valve recirculates, not VTA.

I have the HKS SSQV and am not terribly happy with it. I've been hearing good things about the Turbo XS as well; let us know what you think when you get it.
