Default Best Dump / Blow Off Valve?

Are Dump Valves and Blow Off Valves the same thing?

I'm after one for my Type-R STi V5.
Whats the best one for quality and sound?

I've heard that messing about with things like this in a V5 can lead to MAF sensor failure. Is this true?

The best setup is the one you already have. Don't mess with it.

I removed the aftermarket, when I purchased my sti ppp, and purchased an original from subaru, I personally noticed no diffrence in performance and got rid of that granny frightning noise.

My Forge Motorsport one is like that, very little noise at low revs apart from a little bit of chatter, open it up and you get the noise !!
