I have the Greddy Type RS, and wanted it cause it was a bit different, will say did have a few problems with it leaking boost though, till I tightened it right up. More of a subtle sounds than the HKS but still pleasing to the ear, not that you can really hear it over the induction kit lol

Sard sounds ok, HKS sounds pretty nice (especially with the purple fin), stock BOV vented to atmosphere sounds like the Strongbow advert...and none at all with a single tubby sounds best! ;)

 

Oh and there isnt really much point to them atall, maybe a little on a high boost application of 2bar+. Its all about the sound really.

 

Im trying to imagine a bov sounding like two arrows hitting a bar:rolleyes:

well apparently the quicken up spool time and reduce lag

 

Thats not correct, well unless the stock one is knackered..

 

The stock valve is there to remove the noise of compressor stall on lift off, the aftermarket ones simply route the compressed air to atmosphere rather than back into the intake. Some people (or most it seems!) like the sound these Vent-to-atmosphere ones makes, but not all.

 

They have no performance benefit
