    and easier to install/maintain etc.

    also, is there no such thing as a flutter valve? a valve purposely designed to go psh sh sh shh as if you BOV is adjusted to tightly?
    Why not go 50/50?

    Why not just try recirc and then try 50/50 and see which one you like. Everyone has different tastes. If you like the 50/50, it doesn't matter what we say, you're going to do it anyway.

    Yes they will, thats why you just drive off boost when they are around
    I have not been pinged for it yet, though mine is adjusted pretty hard.

    Chris, you have had yours 50/50 for a while haven't you?

    Honestly, I had mine in recirc with the std intake and the ETS on and I could barely hear it.

    Personal opinion, go with something that will do all three (vent/50 50/recirc) at least then you can change it based on your preference.
    When mine goes in for service I always put it back to recirc

    OT *slaps own hand*
    Make sure it is not tensioned too loosely or it could be leaking.

    Well I went by wat one of the other guys sed and have it about 1-2mm under the top of the bov

    So a slightly different point of view or question.

    What set up is best for the performance of our cars? Recirculate, 50/50 or vent to atmosphere?

    I don't care what it sounds like, I care how it performs.

    I have the Forge which makes a lot of noise. Gold coins anyone? And holds boost well (kind of, needs a boost controller to do it better, dyno in signature shows this)

    That's what I've thought as well crusher. And also if running 50/50 what's the correct setting to have it on (gfb bov that is)

    See post #15. In short run it the way the car is expecting - full recirculation.

    Then that is how everyone should run them.

    Don't say you are not a ricer if you are putting more emphasis on noise than the performance of the car!

    Couldn't agree with you more. Now if you tune it to run VTA, then that's the way to go for alot of people.

    yes, you can have it tuned to run VTA too, otherwise std tune runs better recirc.

    Personally I wouldnt see any difference between recirc etc in regards to performance? as long as the valve is not leaking.
    Anyway, scaring the shizen out of cyclists on the natio runs FTW.

    sooooo, is there any advantage to having an aftermarket fully recirculating BOV over the standard recirculating one?

    I've been told by my boys to leave the std on it it spools better,I have better boost with my gear changes it's not trying to build up pressure would I be right in saying that, like you said at the beginning GEO4GE I'm new at turbo's too....
