What you should do it get the Turbo XS RFL blowoff valve. It is supposed to be the loudest one available. I love the sound of it.

I had bought the HKS 40mm for my Eclipse GSX but once I found out that it rusts, I sold and got the Tial 40mm. It was setup for external dump to atmosphere and it made the car sound mean and in the 4 years that I had the Tial not single problem to report of. Get the Tial it's a better product overall.

Okay, I amend my answer: for those of us lowly sub-15psi types, the Tial makes a nice wooshing noise. For the uber-boost few, however, well, it's the noise of fury and thunder...

It was just a thought that I had that you should get it because it is loud and it sounds good.

With BOVs I find that performance is first, just like anything else in your car should be. Good sound is a bonus.
