I am planning on buying the treadstone turbo kit for my "cadet" but i have to pick a bov from the turbonetics raptor bov, greddy RS bov, or the HKS sqv bov. the kit already includes the turbonetics t3 turbo and and wastegate, so should i just make it turbonetcis all the way around. And i'd like any input about any of them, the sound was a joke, i'd love a cool psh sound but i'd rather sacrifice sound for power, so yeah let me know what's up. i'll be putting up pics around xmas time of the progress on the s13. peace.

I personally like the sound of GReddy RS it has a nice wistle to it when your boost is up around 10-12 psi... but I also do like the HKS bov..... personal preference I think see how much cfm each can vent out maybe

yup....stick with recirculating the bov its better for the motor, so what if you dont hear the whoooosh, it gets old after a while.....just recirculate, if you dont trust me youll regret it in the future....i know i am....

Go with the Greddy RS bov because its easy to make it recirculate
