    Just inspect it first to make sure its a real one, also you will need the flange for the 08+ wrx

    Why bother? That ad looks super legit. Sight unseen is probably fine.

    I think there are better valves out there, especially recirc ones. Don't most people go with the HKS for the ricer noise? In that case, just move right to phase 3, which is this

    I have the turbo xs reciculating bov right now, don't really like it as much, trying to go with the hks.

    what don't you like about it? I know a few people that use it and it works fine. I would focus your time and money on a different mod.

    Cuz the turbo xs bovs and bpvs are known to leak.
    Hks seem to have the least ammount of failure due to their design.

    You know what, this is my mistake. I read TurboXS as Turbosmart and just realized the mix up. I know nothing about TurboXS. Sorry for the confusion.

    Yeah I'm investing for a HKS, so far from what I hear, HKS seems to be the more superior one out of the few.

    That could be something else, what exhaust do you have, also you could have the spring rate improperly adjusted.

    Dude you should have adjusted the spring rate via their (GFB) detailed instructions the second you installed it. It's warm today, do it now.
