Blow off Valve

Hello guys, any of you have suggestion on which is the best blow off valve for 04 wrx? Looking at some blow off valve and trying to compare them. APS, Forge, HKS, Blitz.

I will have to agree with Sonicsuby.
Spend your money on a rear sway bar instead.

Just remember, if you get a 100% venting BOV, kiss your mileage good bye. You may even get the odd backfire from the unburnt fuel igniting on your exhaust!

Go for a recirc/venting BOV. TurboSmart and GoFAstBIts has them.

Why do you say that? I had no change in mileage when I installed my 100% venting BOV.

I get backfires, but it's cause of my ECU tuning, not my TX RFL.

Becareful with a bov. It sounds really good, but draws a lot of attention to your car. But I really enjoy blitz!

I agree with sonicscuby also, if you have a stock car and do not care about sound much, stick with the stock BOV. Otherwise anything that has a 50/50 vent is better than any atmospheric BOV>
