HKS SSQV or Turbo XS RFL?

what bov do you like better and which do you suggest to go with?

i also heard from someone that the turbo xs rfl works best under higher boost, is this true or will it be fine while boostin 8-12 psi? thanks for the help.

definitely go with the hks...that is the bov that i am going with on my new setup...and yes, the rfl does work best under higher amounts of boost...it is really loud under high boost...my boy with wrx boosting 18.5lbs with vf22 upgraded turbo has the rfl, and it will make you go deaf...but i have talked to several people with the rfl boostin between 5-10 lbs, and they all said that they expected it to be louder...but over, the hks has a much sweeter sound...

Good luck finding an HKS SSQV in stock... they are all on back order for 3-4 weeks. If you do find one let me know.

Im goin with the Turbo XS much cheaper and not played out. If you dont want the Type-H RFL hit up the Type-H. Save some cash. Thats what im getting for my turbo set-up.

dober is hookin me up with my hks...he ordered it last week, so it should be in pretty soon...when he ordered it, it was only on back order for 2 weeks....the rfl is a nice blow off valve, but the two sound totally different, so i think it just comes down to which sound you like best...i also like the way the hks looks better too..

OH yeah... HKS all the way... It's what I use and I love it.

Because of its design, it's pretty much impossible to ever leak boost, while always being soft enough to sound good even at low boost.

if you are just going off of sound get the HKS cuz you can drop a sleeve in and have the same sound as the RFL
