Say whatcha like or don't like about em!
Everything I found says, useless in most Subie applications.

Here's the bottom line from my point of view:
Stock works good up until a certain point. If you like the sound, cool. However, I'm a $/HP guy and a BOV is a waste until you're pushing serious power. I'm running a stock EVO BPV at 26 PSI with no issues. Why? Cause it was free.
I like rabid squirrels...it doesnt mean I would install it in my car or put it in my pants.
All of my research has come forward with poor reactions to TurboXS but Tial BOVs are highly regarded and preferred for high performance applications.
If your idea of 'high performance application' is jamming to wally world to get a gallon of milk or you dont know what a high performance application is - you dont need a BOV.
I personally like to toe lines in the sand...to push limits. But thats just me.
That's great and it's your opinion. And if that's what your research says then fine. But seeing as I HAVE a turboxs and know 2 other people who run them with no problems I'll take my experience over an OPINION. So please don't insult my intelligence because of a personal preference on what I run on my car and what you don't on yours. Thank you.
I run them because unlike the sound!!! Plus I know how to tune out some of the bad effects.
Lets keep things civil in here please.
Again. As a person that runs one on my car after my stock BPV failed, I have had no problems with mine. And like Fuji and Holy said they are best for cars on SD, VTA BOVs are notoriously fussy on Subarus, that is why I have a hybrid that only VTAs on WOT.
I'm in the same boat. I liken it to a FMIC. Maybe one day i'll need it, until then i'll stick with what i've got.
bought an HKS SSQV v3 but havent installed, bought the bypass adapter as well. I'm a ricer at heart and want to her the WHOOSH, if it leaks or causes any issues ill sell it for what I paid, got great deals and won't lose any money
I run the Synapse BOV on mine and I am extremely happy with it....it can be run either VTA or recirc
