If you want one, I would get the GFB 50/50 bov because it is only 50% atmospheric. It has a nice sound. If you want the best sounding bov, get the Turbo XS RFL. All in all you dont need one though. The stock setup is fine. Do the silencer mod and you can hear the factory one when you let off the gas pedal at full boost. a 100% atmospheric one will give you a check engine light and your car will run rich. For the money you would shell out on the bov, you could save about 100 more bucks and have something worth the money like a reflash. This is just my opinion though.
Opinions are like *******s everyone has one.

Does your stock
bov have a problem? Unless you have a FMIC or a problem with the stock bov, I see no reason to spend money on an aftermarket bov. Spend money on something else that might actually give you performance gains.

I think people want to replace the BOV just for the sound. If its an actual performance reason, then what oldmansan said is 100% correct. The stock BOV has no problems. If you run more boost then what it can handle, then by crushing the top of it will solve that without the need of replacing the unit.

Why don't they just buy a little speaker that plays the blow-off sound everytime you shift?

Hell you could play the sound of a V8 or even a V12 engine from it! Or better yet and F1 car! Bet that would make you go fast...

Why get a 50/50 when you can get the best of both worlds and get a 0/100 GFB stealth? Long trip with the wife? switch it to 100% recirc which is what the OEM valve is. Going to a meet, want to show of on friday night? switch it to 100% atom blow off or anywhere in between!
simple! turn of the wrist and your adjustments are infinite!

yeah i agree the re92's are baaaaad. however they seem nice in the snow. My plan for wheels and tires are to get some nice wheels and some sticky tires for summer and my stockers with some blizzaks then ill be unstoppable!!!! IMO, I would get a rear sway bar or a reflash (the reflash is depending on the mods you already have done).
