Recommend BOV
Still gathering parts for the Turbo swap...
I've never been a big fan of the HKS whistle style of blow off valve. Does anyone have a recommended brand that makes more of a quouff or chooff sound? Sorry for the onomatopoeia, but it's the best way to get the point across.

the SSQV is the best BOV due to it's pull design.. and high/low valves
if u don't like the sound.. change the insert.. there's 3 diff types that make 3 diff noises
*edit* synapse units are also supposed to be the next Generation of BOV's and WG's but i have no personal experience with them..

I'm with Ottoman. HKS is the best so far because it is less prone to leak compared to the oush-type BOVs. If you're going for sound over performance than pretty much anything will fit your application.

i hate blowoff valves unless theyre all tight and chattery sounding.
that said, purple insert ssqv makes the pew pew pew pew sound instead of PSHHHHHHHH.
i hate the psh. blargh.

I'll definitely be looking up the suggestions, I just wish the sites had sound clips. Though I'm eating up all the attempts at people imitating the sounds of their valves in this thread. How many have read through and spoken aloud each one; eh? Eh? I'm raising my hand.

So purple makes that reciprocating noise I've heard maybe twice, rather than a single discharge?

This is the cooles sounding BOV i have ever heard. Its HKS Racing type2. Looks similar to the SSQV.

The "reciprocating" noise sounds like you're describing compressor surge...
If you want a non-whistle sound that still sounds nice, get an HKS and a purple insert.
APEXi BOVs are in short supply unless you can find someone who has them in stock. They are in the midst of a redesign and have been for almost a year. From what I have heard from many of my distributors, don't hold your breath. As APEXi is having a lot of money troubles lately, it might not even happen this, or next year.
