Going single I want a stock sounding BOV?
I'm really over the BOV sound, So I am looking for a BOV that sounds queit maybe something similar to the stock EVO BOV. I have tried Blitz, HKS, Greddy and I love stock the best. I have alumium charge pipes and a gt35r kit I'm sure thats enough sound.

I wonder if you can't achieve something similar to stock by getting a BOV that doesn't vent to atmosphere. Instead run the vent back into the intake. That should do it no?

Forge Motorsports makes a few interesting ones.

Turbosmart komact series are made to return back to the intake, same as stock. I'm not shure how much boost they are good for though. Didn't the Blitz have a filter option to replace the megaphone cone thing on it?

Just go with a turboxs Bov. The H34 is a great performance BOV and then you can just replumb it back into the intake.

Bad thing about the TurboXS is the flange I have 3" and they only sell 2". The turbosmart has two discharges so underboost its lound and under normal driving it releases back into the intake.

I was also trying to have the BOV installed on the intake charge side so that would be along way to plum back into the air intake.

I found a Blitz BOV for a good price So I might try the filter setup and maybe install a hose over the top and plum it to queit the sound.

buy a HKS SSQV or other adjustable BOV.. and tighten the spring untill it makes the "flutter" sound.

only other way is.... dont use a BOV :] (not suggested)
