Question hks racing bov...can't find any real info

I am buying a hks racing bov to put on my single setup that I will be purchasing soon. Now I need some real good info on this bov that I can't seem to find anywhere.

What is the lowest boost I can run and it be functional?

Is it nearly as big as the Greddy Type-R (saw one yesterday, those things are massive, big as a racing wastegate)?

How many rx7's have you seen with this bov?

How reliable is it?

And least important but what sound does it make? Have heard it is just a quiet woosh all the way too a high pitched flutter. What would it be on most applications?(not like 25psi+, haha)

I am def planning on buying this because I have a chance to buy it for $200 brand new so its price isn't a setback in this situation. Thanks. M-P

How does the HKS SS, and Tial compare to something like a GReddy Type R or HKS Racing?

Thanks, its good to know that I am buying the right one. Yea I agree the Greddy Type-R is just huge, about too big, and am glad the HKS Racing is a bit smaller.

the_glass_man: I sold the HKS SSQV to my friend with a VR-4. I liked it very much, just wanted something different that could hold as much boost as I could give it when I go single soon. I have heard good things about Tial too.
