Not necessarily true...the main thing is holding boost characteristics. There was little fiasco about Replica Tial BOV that were sold on ebay and were very faulty and did not hold boost very well.

Another thing to look at is idle issues that may result from VTA BOV versus recirc BOV. It depends on your vehicle, how much boost you plan on running.

Tial, HKS, or stock.


And if this is for a wrx, which Im assuming from your username, Just stay stock until you need one.

The best BOV is the one that does its job. So the stock one if you have a WRX. Keep it until you have some reason to change, like you're making stupid amounts of power. This is NOT a performance part, unless its somehow hamstringing you for power. If you're going with a front mount, and need to relocate your BOV, and have to have a new one, get a Forge. All business, no frills; won't make everyone turn and look at you, which is a good thing. Plus, you have a recirc system anyway if you have a WRX, so it's going to be muffled any way you slice it.

I use a TIAL blow off valve on my Supra, works good, is reliable, and is a high quality piece... Stay away from the early model HKS blow-off valves, they have a plastic base which tends to crack which can lead to boost leaks...
