Max boost on stock BOV

What's the max boost that the stock BOV can hold? I vaguely remember seeing it somewhere that it was 19 PSI. Is that correct?

Also, does anyone have a Forge 100% recirc? If so, how much louder is it than stock, since a 100% recirc shouldn't be too loud right?

There was a thread on nasioc about modding the stock bpv to hold more pressure if you want to save some $. Any recirculating bov should sound the same as the stock bpv.

I read somewhere that the stock BOV could safely handle 18lbs. I'm sure the more knowledgeable ones will chime in OR a quick search should do it for you.

On what turbo are the references to PSI based on?

You wont exceed the stock BOV with that setup.

alright, cool. Since I read somewhere that 19 PSI was the max, so I was worried I may be leaking some.
