What is the loudest BOV?
I want the BOV to be obnoxiously loud, and I'd also prefer a whistle noise over a whoosh.
I've been thinking of either the HKS SSQV or the Turbo Smart dual port.
I had a Greddy Type-s, and it wasn't loud enough.
I have a HKS RS intake, and I just got a UTEC, so should I recirc the BOV, or can I get it tuned to VTA via the UTEC?
Also, would the HKS EIDS be needed with the UTEC?

I like the sound of a VTA BOV as well, not that I'm fanatic about it or anything but it's cool and people looks at your car as if something is wrong with it
I had a Blitz super sound on my VI and it was LOUD but only a whoosh type of sound. I have the HKS SSQV on my VII now and it has the coolest sound I’ve heard so far, except maybe for the WRC cars but that sound is impossible to get unless you build your engine to WRC spec
The HKS SSQV has changeable fins in the front and you can adjust the sound with them, the gold fin is said to be the loudest of them but in reality I cannot hear a difference from the silver fin that comes in the package, then you have the purple fin which is more like a short tube and it takes away the whistle in the sound and makes a longer whoosing sound.
It must be VTA if you want a loud sound, you might get stalling issues with that setup but hey, what do you do

I have the turbosmart dual port and it sounds great and is plenty loud. Put it this way, I have seen people jump in there seats when I shift going by them. It has a very aggressive sound as in "don't ---- with my car lol".

They go nuts over the blow off valve sound for some reason.
