$200 shipped tho, and its not a complete kit. just the bov itself

Original insert is very loud sounds similar to GReddy
Gold is the same but a little quieter
Purple is just a whoosh but you can hear turbo flutter! ORGASMIC

aww that sucks alright whell im just ognnna wait till i find a real one from a store.. cheap... but sevensix it didnt say how to install it on that site
I can't really explain turbo flutter, but it's made by the turbo when the throttle is closed... And it pretty much sounds like a stuttering BOV but not quite as loud..... If anyone else can help me out explaining this go ahead
both of these brands are very reputable in japan. you can't go wrong with either one.
its more of the aesthetics and personal preference.
you won't get hi-pitch with neither if u have the stock twins. the hi-pitch sound only comes with single turbo. i can't explain why, but its from personal experiences.
you can get them the cheapest on ebay. if you don't mind used. I got my HKS SSQ BOV kit for FD on ebay for low $200. Best if you get the ones w/ a kit for RX-7 unless ur going to weld them on IC piping.

turbosurge is bad, and will wear out your bearings sooner

I'd have to disagree. it could be the gasket or the way its installed. Because my brother has a 95 supra tt running a Greddy type S bov w/out any leak or problems. he's boosting 28psi. Then again, nothing's 100%, even reputable brands have a couple faulty lemons.
then again, if ur running a large single turbo & high boost, you should use the Greddy Type R bov anyways.
