what BOV works?

a friend of mine wants to slap on a BOV on his wrx. he has the basic boltons. hes heard it all about people losing hp and their car running like crap, but he has also met other wrx owners who have bovs that said it ran fine for them.

im sure there are BOVs out there that work good for a wrx. any recommendations?

It has to be recirculating to work properly.
Forge makes one, so does Greddy.

Here is all your sound clips of the bov's. The Greddy Type S sounds pretty good.

i woundnt recomend a 100% vent bov it made my car run rich causing low gas mileage and had poor shifting because the revs would not match shift points.

i have an hks and it does that too i think its kinda fu****g up my tranny now because i dont really like to wait for my rpm's to go down and it puts alot more stress on the gears than normal almost every shift. i think im going to get rid of mine soon but i will miss the cool sound.
