One that releases excess pressure lol. I have zero first hand experience, but it seems for a budget deal JGS or RPS ones work good. Just re-stating what i've read on the interweb

My favorite is the Tial 50mm, but since I dont want to spend $300 on a BOV and can still sleep at night buying chinese, I buy the knockoff 50mm from Race Parts Solutions.

Being young and with import experience the turbo xs rfl is by far my favorite. Insanely loud wooosh noise and if you happen to ping the limiter it sounds like a shotgun.

I'm running a Synapse 50mm on my setup and you honestly can't hear it much but you get absolutely zero compressor surge so that's the important part.

******-A!

My entire turbo system is built with American made components. No Chinese "sweat-shop" parts here.

I have run the Tial Q 50mm and now the turbosmart race-port 50mm. The turbosmart has a smaller body, weighs less, and makes a better sound. You can tell it opens much sooner and flows more air. Id definitely go with the turbosmart
