Default 14psi + ProCharger Guys, which bypass?

Which bypass valve are you guys running? Vortech, ProCharger, other? Which do you recommend? Currently I have a Tial BOV and I'd like to swap it out for a BPV. Hit me!

Vortech Mondo valve is popular. There's one for sale on corvetteforum.com in the C5 parts section. He decided to go with a Tial. Too bad you guys didn't know before hand.

I'm using the Vortec Mondo and it isn't too bad. I would go with the ATI race bypass imo.

I used a vortech mondo on the last car, they work fine but they use an o-ring to seal and it will pop off once in a while. I'm using the big procharger one for the new car, it has a solid teflon seal and it looks cooler if anything. Kinda pricey though..

I have used both. And they both worked flawlessly. I am seling the Vortech mondo. When I re-did my charge pipes I got a deal on a ATI race valve (Enclosed discharge) cause I don't like all the noise and my blower it loud enough to be a jet so didn't need any added sounds LOL!

I have a feeling Bob will pop in sometime with a link. You can't go wrong when dealing with EPP.

Ati red race bypass here too. SDCE told me this was the 8+ psi upgrade when I bought my d1 kit.

It is loud but I have mine vented to the atmosphere, I like the wush sound. Im sure EPP will have them.

I got mine from epp . It was like 300 shipped. You will need to have the flange welded on. Make sure you get the one that vents to air.

That one is good for moderate boost levels about 12 lbs max really as it doesn't 100% seal off. It makes for better drivability but suffers a little when trying to make anything over 10lbs of boost

I've got the Vortech Maxflow Racing Bypass Valve. It's very quiet, which I prefer. It seems to hold up to my 13-14psi setup just fine.
