Tial Q 50mm. As far as I'm concerned, it's the only one out there... well worth the money.

I have ran a Synapse BOV or DV on three different cars now. I've always been pleased with its performance. Will always make them my first choice for that particular job.

Dont buy a performance part if it doesnt perform. Pretty sure every hks bov leaks and the same with RFLs. I've literally thrown away severals of each. Greddy type s/rs are ok at like 10psi most of the time, but they will leak with higher pressures. Tial. Never leaks, very well engineered and very reliable. Words of experience.

Add synapse BOV's to that no leak list. I don't remember my greddy rs leaking but then again I never tested it like most leaking. The Turbosmart ones also leak.

You sure those weren't knock-off fleabay HKS bov's. I have never had an HKS that I bought straight from HKS leak. The knock-offs on the other hand... they sucked.

Why did you sell the greddy?

If you were pinched for cash, you should have gone with the oem lanevo one I suggested. It works, and is cheaper than the greddy rs. Unless your one for buying shiny parts because shiny.?!

I sold the Greddy because I didn't want it. I read about too many issues with them. I would have gone with an RZ but I came across a BNIB Synapse for $150 from a friend.

I've seen ZERO complaints about Synapse's products and I could care less about what a BOV looks like.

I am not pinched for cash by any means. I do value people's opinions but your TWO assumptions about me were both incorrect and a little insulting.

I went ahead and corrected some of your spelling as well...
