Just curious to see what ones you guys are using and reccomend. I intend on boosting 15 street and over 20 at the track, just want to know what worked for you so I can figure out which one to get.

I have the HKS SSQV and it's great. I was told for that level of boost it was perfectly fine. I run 1 bar on the street and I will probably run 19 or so at the track next year.
I have noticed some people run two (one at the intake elbow, and one close to the turbo). But I believe they do that to be extra careful as it comes to compressor surge, and/or they are running higher boost levels.

I'm running the HKS Racing Bypass valve with the 15-18 psi spring. It works great, as did my SSQV when i had it.

I'm using the Tial BOV. I have used an Apex'i dual chamber BOV as well, but I didn't like it. It just didn't seem to get rid of the air charge fast enough and it sounded like a p*ssy BOV. I have experience with the GReddy type S & type R, Blitz super sound, Turbo XS(entire lineup), and the HKS SSQV. For the boost levels that you are going to be running, I would recommend the HKS SSQV, GReddy Type R, or the Tial. I fully recommend the Tial, but it doesn't like low boost levels. If you choose it, get the soft spring and keep the boost at least at 15psi and above. Best of luck to you.
