Default BOV valves? Help?

Been looking at blow off and dump valves for my 94 wrx, tempted to just go for the bog standard bailey dump valve as i had on my other scoob, but i've seen the GFB (Go Faster Bits) hybrid blow off valve on scoobyparts.com and i like the idea of being able to change between recirculation or dumping the air, the question i want to ask is if anyone know's anything about their build quality as i u hear allsorts about dump valves leaking boost etc etc, and being a bit of a newby i dont know much! any advice would be cool. thanx.

The choice is yours ! Some peeps just stay with the norm and some like to go with the Atmospheric. As you say the GFB Stealth gives you the best of both worlds.. I've been running a GFB Stealth on my car for 2 over 2 years now. It still works perfectly and looks like new..

If your going to get 1 i'd personally go for a top end model like the hks or blitz as these cause less problems with the management system (stalling etc) and they are designed around jap motors in the first place. But saying that, I do happen to have a baily going spare if you want it.

Im almost positive that all top makes are adjustable, my blitz was but I think you can buy adaptors for the blitz which bolt on the end and change the sound.
