RFL BoV ?

Everything ive read says 10-25psi of boost? anyone think that it would function properly still at 6-8psi?

i was undecided on the RFL vs. the RS so i asked you all. Then none responded soon. So i asked my wife what one she thought. She looked at the RS and said i pick that one. Ta-da Type-RS it is from what ive read the RFL will work but may need modified to the lower boost. Ordered the Type-RS from Street level performance and got a tracking number day after internet order so looking like good service
