If you want a BOV that actually works, get a Synapse!

Evo 9 Metal BOV. Simple, cheap, and proven to work.

Yea if you will be running 25 psi at max then a stock 9 bov will be the best choice. Anything over that then I would suggest tial, synapse, or turbosmart.

I have tried 4 different DV's, and the Synapse Synchronic is by far the most versatile valve, and has the best driveability of them all.

Forge is definitely the way to go {thumb up}

$170 shipped Should be the best price anywhere.

whichever one you get, make sure its recirculated unless you go speed density. having an HKS SSQV is good and all but you will quickly get annoyed of the constant idle fluctuations and possibility of the car stalling after a hard pull.

I honestly ran mine with out recirc for about a month while waiting to get speed density tuned and I had no issues with idle or stalling just a little rich in between shifts and it's loud as hell which can get annoying after awhile lol.
