I went with greddy but only because you left out the best BOV on the market. you forgot the TurboXS type-H. 110 Db of rush to the head. or if you really like loud like me. you could go with the Type-H RFL. guess what the RFL stands for. Now im going off of the 3 diffrent BOVs ive heard on The Z31 300ZX turbos i dont know about for a RX7 i just recently got into them.

Tial is nicely constructed, and is a machining work of art, however their spring range needs work for a rotary, and a ported rotary with lower vacuum would be even more of mismatch, now they have come out with a lighter spring, but its not a progressive spring, its linear so the bov doesn't open gradually, with the oring style seal, it kind of pops open, even with the light spring, you still get some surge and flutter till the valve opens up.. To get mine to work right, I ditched the tial spring and using one I came up with at work..Max

Hey Max,
I've seen you and others say that about the TiAL before. I just got mine in May, soI assume it is the lighter spring you mention.
The only time I hear any surge is when I let off from VERY light throttle at low RPM. The MAP at this point is well below zero, and I think any surge at this very low level can't possibly damage the compressor. It doesn't take much for it to open, even normal driving in traffic it opens each time I shift.
The reason I chose it is it's huge, it dumps a lot of air, which I need with a big turbo. It is very well made and looks better than the rest (I think). Colour choice too, though I have a silver one.
It is also very quiet, which I'm sure would disappoint this fool.

Then, all the guys running big turbo's, USE the Tial.
Mine is exceptional. The results are the same as with Tyson. Can't say I've ever had any compressor surge, and its very responsive and opens even under light loads.

Blitz
I have 2 x Blitz single stage (older) BOV, and there are very nice. I have dyno'd my car at 482rwhp with a greddy T78 bored out to actually be a T80 now with a garrett wheel, and the Blitz handle the power great. I can post a pic if you want to see the setup.
