If you hadn't been laid in decades, you'd start doing the same thing.

I am with JasonR, I have a fairly large turbo and I cannot really hear the bov much at all. When I was on the 16g, the thing seemed loud even with a o2 dump. I am running an external wastegate plumbed back in and the bov is hard to notice because of the deep engine sound. I like the benifits of a larger turbo. No pssshhhhhht on every shift. I have had a hks ssqv, blitz supre sound (on now), 1g crushed, and a greddy type-s bovs. I don't car much for the sounds.

Do you like the Blitz? The others you listed should perform better than it, if I've heard correct reviews.

I was fine with all of them. I started out with a 1g (ofcourse). Then I got the HKS ssqv. I hated that because my car couldn't idle for shit venting. I wasn't to proud of the chicken call sound either. I sold that and bought the Blitz. For some reason I thought you could plumb it back in but I would have to make another fitting to do so. My car liked to vent that better than the HKS. A FMIC kit I bought came with the greddy type-s but the piping only bolted up to a 14b/16g turbo. Well that turbo was being swapped out at the same time so I made a ghetto lower ic pipe and flanged it for a 1g bov as I had the flange. I liked venting the blitz over the 1g so I still have it on. I think the bov is ok. I liked the sound over the HKS but the sound isn't heard much anymore. The BOV has worked great for me.
