Actually I dont. Whatever you do, DO NOT buy the Turbo XS RFL, its not big enough to let out enough air and you can surge your turbo. Dont buy a GReddy, their gay IMO. I have the APS, its quiet but not too quiet. Why do you want a BOV anyway, the stock one can hold 20 psi and if you mod it, it will hold around 35-40 psi.

How can a RFL not let out enough air when most of the huge 1000+ supras all have that bov?? I had that bov on my sti as a 1st mod and it never had any surge. not to mention if you set a empty soda can on it and let one rip it would go to the moon. I go on tons of subaru boards and see that bov more that any and this is the first i have heard of this. just wondering where it came from?

Never heard of an RFL not letting out enough air..............

Why do I want a BOV? I must fulfill the ricer side of me

I will sell you my Greddy type-s for $150. It comes with the recirculation pipe, silicone hose from recirculation pipe to BOV, and mounting hardware.

I know of 4 people with 1000+ HP Supras that say its garbage and so does every Supra owner I have talked to. If it was so great Ryan Woon, Matt Scranton, Saad Saad, and many others would use it on their drag cars instead of the Tial and the Turbonetics BOVs. The most popular valve among the Supra crowd, other than the Tial, is the HKS SSQV. I would like you to show me a Supra that makes 1,000+ HP and uses the RFL, goodluck
