not another bov question

Heya guys,

sorry bothering you with this

but im going to run my 7 with 10-14psi this summer, and was thinking to buy a new BOV.
ok i have read a bunch now..
some praises the HKS SSQV, others say TiAL is the best, and some guys use Blitz etc..

since there are some differences in psi to open and vent.

well, i have heard a tial with a piston spring is a big NO for a stock 7 and such things...

so pls help, and tell me which bov would be nice at 10-14Psi and probably more in the future!
the SSQV seems nice to me, because you can plug a recerculation tube to it, and use it as a bypass if you want!

pls some info guys

super sequential is nice.......but IMHO a bov is a bov is a bov, as long as its a decently constructed piece (meaning not some weido knock-off with casting marks on the corners) its going to do what you want..........blow off.

Just get what you want, you could be on here for months waiting for people to agree on which is best. The bottom line is they all work.

But good luck tuning 14psi on a stock turbo........10 for sure but 14??geez louise.

ya, 14 mayb to much

but hey, im very interested in TiAL 50mm, but dont want to spend abour 250 bucks for one that doesnt open to vent at my stock boost pressure of 7psi.. i have read a thread here about it, that the spring it comes with is important... so, i just started this thread because mayb somebody knows better. and mayb throw some bovs into the room, that i dont know.
since many of them vent to atmosphere, the sound is important too! but for me not in that case like for others.. it should be too LOUD, and no rice-pimp WHOOOSH or something to shock pedestrians, or the car in front of me.

I used a Turbo XS RFL, it was cool and hold boost well... but i was only running stock boost =P
I know have a HKS SSQV, its works equally as well but is a little more humble sounding...at times....

As long as you buy quality, you could almost say that. But a cheap one is just that. Cheaper rubber, softer springs, ect ect. That is what you get when you buy a knock-off.
