Default BOV differences?

I'm wondering how a hks "style" or a GReddy bov would compare to a Tial?, I'm running a 50mm Tial and somebody wanted to know if the GReddy or hks style would work for an ls1.., I'm under the impression that you need to adjust the pressure w/the two, is that just kind of a trial and error thing?, if anybody here has used those types give some feedback.., I know I like my Tial but damn is it expensive compared to the others... kind of on the subject, is a bov some mysterious device or is just a damn bov...

Why wouldn't they? If they are spec'd similar, it should work. A BOV is a BOV. They differ in size and functionaility. How are they rated? By CFM? Boost? I have no idea. I taking some educated guesses.

Good luck

I've heard pretty much the same statments about all the good quality companies - HKS, Tial, GReddy, etc.

You get what you pay for applies here I think.
