Tial QR or Turbo Smart BOV?

I'm about to order a BOV. After talking to a few people I'm leaning towards the Turbo Smart. What do you guys think?

I think you'll be happy with either one. I used to have a Turbo Smart on my last evo and loved it. Tial also has a good reputation.

If you are on Speed Density, I would go with the TiAL Q. This is a great BOV.

However, if you are on MAF, I would go with the TiAL QR.

Love my Turbosmart Raceport. I was told they are about the same. Turbosmart is usually a little cheaper then Tial

The QR has the recirc design, whereas the Q is vta...not that you couldn't vent the QR, which is what I'm doing.

I'm running the Tial QR and it holds boost like a champ. Even though it's recirculated it still sounds pretty good too which pleases my inner ricer.

I'm personally going with the Forge Motorsports, I was deciding between the Tial and Turbosmart and ended up settling on the Forge, easy adjustment, holds high boost and sounds awesome.

I've been eyeing both of these.

I have a Forge Recirc non adjustable. I'm on SD now and will be making a UICP short route. Is there any benefit going to the TurboSmart or Tial VTA over my Forge Recirc now VTA?

I have the Tial Q 50mm which is essentially the QR, just a different base. My god, over the stock ix valve, it holds boost part throttle so much better, the car feel peppy at part throttle. It also feels incredibly precise, WOT shifts feel crisp. I am a big fan.
