OKay I might get some flames for this, but I want my turbo to sound good to (and I know its not only for the woooossssssshhhhhh sound to, so dont post that).

What is the best sounding BOV. I want one with the whistle sound when you shift and one thats pretty loud to let people know what you have under the hood.

I know that blowoffvalves.com has some sound clips for different BOVs but if anyone has any more other clips, please let me know.

Thanks

turboXS makes the RFL, its the one ill be using on my setup...

if you want the loud whistle, then you should probably look into the GReddy Type S or the HKS Super Sequential, im not really a fan of either but they will give you that whistle...

personally i like the tial blow off valves..

sound doesn't mean s**t why not get one that will work well? HKS makes a damn nice once But Tial is best out there i'd say.

spring rates make a difference in your sound from the BOV as well. A harder spring in a low boost situation won't be soo loud (for the peeps who whine about BOV sound).....I'd be concentrating more on the turbo spooling up :twisted:

i have the HKS SSQV and well, lets face it... The sound of a blow off valve often does contribute to the purchase of any particular BOV no matter what anyone says.

Turbo XS RFL (RFL= Real f**king Loud!)

Pulled from TurboXS.com said:
Blow Off Valve Type-H-RFL:



A new larger billet aluminum body and a beefier piston ensures the valve remains smooth under the most demanding circumstances. This valve relieves compressor pressure surge caused by changing gears or backing off the throttle quickly and is designed for turbo charged engines running up to 25 psi boost.

If you need to ask this valve is too loud for you!

My boy Ben had one on his STi and at 3000rpm its made my ears ring.
