BOV that recirculates and vents

What is the name and where can I find the blow off valve that recirculates air to the intake and vents to the atmosphere. I saw it on here last week and went to a website and found it but now I can't seem to find it here or the site it was on.

i'm not sure if i know enough about the bov, but they said the Good For Bits (GFB) hybrid bov is the one that works 50-50. that is 50% into the atmosphere and the other 50% in the intake. this is my opinion. i could be wrong, but that is what i remember. good luck

Is it normally a problem on these cars to run the BOV dumped to the atmosphere? I had a Talon and the only downfall to running open atmosphere on it was if the clutch was pushed in at higher than 4K it would stall. Is that a problem with the WRX or is it more of an idle issue?

I have a GFB hybrid bov installed on my 03 WRX, with the only other mods being a pannal filter and a Vishnu single dump turbo back system. I have run the bov anywhere between 25-90% atmospheric vent and have had absolutely no problems. No stumbling. No problems under any condition. However, absolutely no performance gains.

For vanity's sake, I recommend the GFB bov. I have not however heard anyone actually say that their bov HELPED their performance. Just sounds neat

I wasn't looking for a performance increase. Just making sure that the car would run well. How loud is the GFB? Does the volume change much when you change adjust it from recirc to atmos.
