+12 for knowing why you want to change it? Are you upgrading your power? What are you goals? IIRC, stock BPV can hold up to about 300WHP before they start to leak, then you should look in to purchasing an aftermarket one.
I have a GReddy-RS BOV that's recirculating (I used to have it set up as VTA....NO FREAKING GOOD, trust me).

^^^ False.
If there was no need for a BPV on a stock engine, Subaru would not have included it. If you feel there is no need for that engine component, take it off and see what happens.
OP, not trying to bag on you, just trying to help you. If you're engine is completely stock or nearly stock and you're just looking to get a BOV for pure PSSSSHHH sound - don't. Tell us why you want to change the stock BPV to a BOV and maybe we can help. Possible goals or current, if any, mods on the car would help too!

Since when did the local forums become tech forums??
Anyways...stick with stock unless you're pushing mad tyte boost beyond what the stock bov can handle yo! Not only is it retarded to run an aftermarket bov your car will more than likely run like crap and attract the wrong attention.
