Need suggestions for a new BOV

OK, so it's been a gazillion years since I've posted. but My greddy type S BOV is finally biting the bullet. The middle of the top where the adjustment screw is stripped, so It started leaking boost. I know, I can take it to a machine shop, and they can fill, and redo the hole with new threads, but I figure I'd just get a new BOV.... but they don't make the Type S any more. I've been running a stock BOV (thank god I kept it for years). Keep in mind, that I have 150k on the evo, and I rarely drive it anymore, so I'm not looking for $500 BOV, just one to basically replace the Type S. obviously, I still have the flange on the old one as well, so In theory, I can reuse it?

You can always run a 9/10 BOV. I run the turbosmart recirc valve. Have on a couple cars and it has been reliable.

I agree stock Evo 9/10 BOV are great. My second choice would be the Synapse DV or Tial QR.

If you're running less than 26psi of boost, no reason to run anything other than a stock BOV.
