Best BOV Bang for the Buck

I tried this in the second gen forum and got little to no response.
What's the best BOV for the money? Are the TurboXS models as crappy as some say? I don't care if they're ridiculously loud (or if they're quieter than average). What're your opinions?

Well you can pick up a used, but excellent HKS one for about $30. That's a pretty good value for your dollar if you ask me.

Ebay. There is usually about a dozen on there in the $30-$50 range. I just searched and only found these two right now:

I see those and they usually end up being $100ish. Thanks, though, I might buy one of those.

Oops. you are right, I forgot to notice how much time was left in auctions. I checked completed Items, and they do sell for like $90-$150. Still not a bad price though.

You need to go with a good unit if your using a high boost application. I use the Greddy Type R model. No worry of blowing the diaphram out on my BOV. RX7 Store has a pretty good price. Check it out rx7store.net

I have the Apexi and I like it. It seems to work fine but I have nothing else to compare it to.
