Alright. I just upgraded my intercooler and im lookin for new a new hotpipe and bov combo. mainly a recirc valve b/c im going to recirc. 1. Im lookin for something moderately quiet at 1 bar of boost and can withstand that amount of pressure and more.2. I dont really care about sound. I dont want ppl to know that im turbo b/c of my bov. 3. I want a BOV that when at around 25-50% throttle shifts can sound like a NA car. (silent purge)

I think thats all.

i have never herd of a silent way of releasing preasure. Though exhaust is silent if restricted. So, i don't think restricting a preasure valve is a good thing to do

just get the hks and recirculate it thats the only way for a quite BOV...........anything that vents is going to be loud because its releasing pressure

Forge motorsport makes one of the best piston ram diverter valves.

Also, you can check with turbonetics. I currently have a turbonetics DV, and it holds well over 14psi. i can hear it through my intake filter, but it's not mind numbingly loud like a BOV, and it doesn't cause the car to richen out when i push the clutch in.
