I've noticed you have a supercharger, may I ask why you want a BOV? You do realize they're not the best for your blower. You want a bybass valve.

And if you were turbo'ed I'd get the BOV that you could hardly hear.

How do the HKS ssqv valves work? I see you can get em on ebay for like 60 bucks for a brand new one they claim is genuine HKS..cant beat that price but if they or are I dont want to get one..I see a couple of those fins you can buy make it sound ricey but i think the straight up valve doesnt sound bad..i dunno..opinions?

Tial IMO, but between the sound of the exhaust, whipple of the turbo and the wastegate. Your not going to hear the BOV anyways.

Here's a vid of my Talon (sold Summer 2010)
Tial 50mm BOV
Tial 44mm Wastegates (2)
3.5 exhaust....you can't hear the BOV.

Vortech sends this with their kits
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/VOR-8D001-001/

Its the stocker for Saab's. Porsches use a pair of them for the TT cars
http://www.saabperformanceparts.com/item140.htm

I use this because the springs can be exchanged easily
http://www.vf-accessories.com/acc-bypassvalves.php

Its ok when it first blows off. Very loud whoosh, then it has a sand-blaster sound for the constant low throttle bypass
