Hey Matt its me josh with the talon. Randy told me you posted this on TR so i figured id come check the thread out. As Matt has said it drives fine, there seems to be no shaking whatsoever and it idles just fine. I warned him about getting a offbrand BOV as hed just have to replace it to get one that actualy works well.
He took me for a ride and it never blew off until the higher boost levels even with the intake thing not fluttering. Im not sure at all what it was but like matt said the car runs fine, there seems to be no problem so i was lost.
On a side note, you goin out to QSL tonight matt? Ill be there.

The stock BPV is the best "BOV" that you can run on the STi. Don't waste your money on a BOV unless you need one (i.e. you are running lots of boost and your stock BPV won't hold). They make your car run worse (unless you get tuned for it.) If you want to hear the "cool" noise, simply hack your intake silencer. Again, a BOV on an STi will do nothing other than make some noise and make your car run rich between shifts. I'm surprised that nobody has said this yet. A classic example of "If it ain't broke, 'fix' it till it is."
