you're better off sticking with the standard recirc imo.
Spend the money towards a more useful mod.

As mentioned above - you will be fine with the dumpvalve already fitted to your car, however - if you want the noise then go for it. There is lots of debate about d/v's and if they can damage your engine or not!!!
I had on one my uk Classic for 5 years without issue! There are no gains to be had using an aftermarket dv unless you are in a high state of tune

single piston, it is the only bov available that has piston stiffness adjustability without replacing springs.

where does the bov go on a 95 wrx?

I have a HKS SSQV on a 1995 wrx, had no probs with it and sounds different from the normal baleys dump,
when i first bought the car it had a baleys twin piston on it but it was leaking on cruise about 60mph upwards.

in a bit of flexy hose on the other side of the intercooler linked to the air intake pipe, well hats where the standard 1 is. ive heard from afew ppl that you need dual piston cos of the maff sensor, but its just what they have picked up so?
i want abit of the tissh! noise but dont want it 2loud or to run **** or anything bad
