Default bov less?

I currently have an hks ssqv but its doing my t*ts in with its psst every 2 mins

can I go bov less and have no problems what so ever? or is it recommended that I buy a recirc bov? or factory bov?

ideally I want the safest and quitest option
p.s andy is mapping my car start of march so I want to get this sorted asap

Depends on what turbo your running but most will tell you stick with the standard recirc tbh.

Unless it's failing or you want the dumping sound there is no need to really replace it.

If you want best of both worlds then invest in a decent recirc valve that allows you to alter the spring rate as to when it makes a noise, I was running a turbo smart one on mine and would get the chatter on light throttle and a big whoosh on wot but as said it's been done away with as I love the chatter

Yes pal you can plumb the standard recirc back in easy enough.

Give Matty in the breakers section a shout he should be able to sort everything you need for reasonable cost, if you have a decent bov then you could possibly sell that on to recoup some of the money.

People have totally blanked the bov off on the vf35 but the argument is "how long will it last" some have had no issues what so ever for the last xxxx miles but you can't compare apples with oranges as every engine and components respond differently to alterations, you could be lucky and never have an issue or it could shìt it's self in days/weeks/months but then that could be the excuse you need for a bigger blower
