    Does anyone know/have any experience with different diverter valves (NOT ATMOSPHERIC) for the WRX? I had a Forge on my old Eclipse, liked it and the noise. I'm looking for one that's tunable if possible, but mostly I want to hear it. I like to hear what's going on with my car. Any suggestions?

    (Yes, I'm used to old cars. Last car was a 21-year old Fiero GT!)

    Lots of good things about forge, had one on my gti, you can get most in recirc-with a kit, although everyone seems to find leaks with every type, lots run the hks, I always wanted to get the greddy type-s(the purple one) with the recirc kit-those seem like solid ones but they dont make them anymore(i dont think) stock will work best before 19-20lbs of boost-but it you want LOUD go with turbo xs-just find the recirc kit-all diverter/BOV's supposedly leak according to someone--ask bikerboy/wrx1, they have lots of experience

    Greddy is a BOV with recirculation kit. I'm not so wild on the atmospheric BOVs turned recirc, too touchy with the tuning/spring and stuff. I'll take a look at the HKS when I get on later. Thanx.

    there are a few companies out there that make BOVs that can cycle between full atmo and full recirc. the company name cant come to mind right no. it might be GFB???

    definately get a recirc bov if you want recirc, don try to make a atmo bov go recirc.

    My GFB is running recirc and its loud as hell. I'd look for something else if you don't want a noticeably loud BOV sound. Granted i do have a CAI too...

    Nope. I want a full recirculating one, that still makes some noise, hence my asking about the Forge.

    I am contemplaiting getting the ebay TMIC that comes with the Y-pipe and a atomspheric BOV. Is anybody running one of these setups. I am going to get the 16g evo III in January with supporting mods and I can't ignore the deal you can get on ebay for the TMIC. I figure I'll give the generic BOV valve a try that comes with the setup and if it doesn't work, I can replace it after. $250 for the whole setup! What's the catch?
