I think the TurboXS hybrid valve is a lot of money for what it is and what it does. That's just personal opinion, but with a short ram intake your BPV is going to be louder anyway...and a Forge unit (which is much less expensive) will take care of the leaking issue that the stock unit tends to have.

well...the turboxs valve will leak after awhile too. I have had way to many issues while tuning with boost dropping off because of there valves.

we've had really great success with the Forge valve. for the price, it performs as advertised and is adjustable for those who want to fine tune it. to me there really is no better valve short of spending twice that for the HKS.

the forge is the best bang for the buck, all around a great quality piece. Worth the 150 dollar investment and then some.

Yup, I have Forge. May not sound the sexiest, but it's easy to install, does what it's supposed to do, and is pretty cheap compared to some of the others.

I was lookinat the Cobb silicone Sri and I liked it I had a hks ssq and loved it but was curious if the recirc kit for it stays on good and how loud it is with recirc and Sri I also like that rpmc pipe and have been thinkin heavily about it just wanted to askmore questions bout it like is it worth it

the RPMC is a nice part for the price. definitely helps the turbo breathe and spool better/faster. the direct bolt on HKS has the recirc fitting preinstalled and it sticks in there tight.
