I've heard the same exact sound on a Supra Turbo. Sounds like the Apex'i to me.

with all due respect that doesnt sound like a blitz BOV. It's just a super loud pssssh. And it doesn't sound like the apexi either, the high pitch tune sounds more like the HKS BOV.

Chances are, he/she is running a lot more boost than any of us are..and that would change the sound of it.

Hmm

I agree that that is the HKS racing BOV (Type-R?), sounds the same as the one on the MR2 that blew past me while I had my criuse control on (first day trying it out).

I am running the APEXi Dual Chamber BOV and I am not extremely happy with the sound, but the performance is good

Could be the GReddy Type R, but I've never worked with those.
Btw dragreur if u are reffering to me, I used to do turbo installs for a living, AND I have the blitz on my MR2, it doesnt sound like that.
