Greddy RS sounds alot like the Blitz DD but quieter. I love the HKS BOVs the most though. Friend has a HKS SQV and it sounds like a bird call at low boost.

When I go top mount, blow through I'm going to run a tial. I use the stock bpv and it works fine for now, I'll probably get a turbo xs h34 sometime soon though (they aren't that far away from me)

I actually find the HKS to be pretty annoying when I hear other cars with it. Especially when people are trying to back into a space and it sounds off 509243940824 times, lol

I love the SARD R2D2. Piston design similar to Blitz BOV.

is it possible to just run the MAF on the intake of the turbo and just place an open atmosphere BOV on the charge pipe comming from the compressor?

You worded it incorrectly, but just look up "blow through MAF" or "blow thru MAF"

The HKS is a nice unit, it sounds best without the gay ricer chirp. You can rip out the insert to remove the gayness from the BOV.

I have a Blitz, I like it.

hks, put on the recirc ring and recirculated it for a while and then tuned safcII to make it run fine to bov to atmosphere.

It used to sound like a loose ac belt and annoyed the hell out of me, but with the recirc fitting in sounds badass.

I used to have a tial but had bad stalling out issues cause it would only want to stay fully open or fully closed.

+1 for hks on the street, tial for track
