Default Newage STi Intercooler BOV Which One?

Hi

I am going to be fitting an STi intercooler to my WRX soon before it gets remapped and would just like your opinions on which BOV I should be looking at.

I don't want which is excessively loud so perhaps an adjustable one, as the RCM induction kit makes enough noise on its own.

I am really confused by the choice so over to you...

Go recirculatory. The loud ones really pish me off.

I have looked into BOV's quite a bit and if you are thinking of fitting it for performance it is probably not worth the money as they have no real impact on performance over the standard recirc as it does a good job. If its noise though and you have the cash to burn the Blitz BOV is supposed to be pretty good and adjustable.........................about £250 though!!

Oh well, sorry guys but I have bought a Bailey DV12 BOV as you can adjust the noise level and it was a reasonable price , if it gets on my nerves then I will change it for a Forge BOV.

Having read the reviews of it they all seemed to suggest it was good buy, I will let you know in due course and if too noisy on its quitest level it will be changed.
