    dunno what people run on their E30's but back when I had my FD RX-7 I ran an HKS SSQV and I loved it.

      That HKS SSQV valve is cool but it gets annoying after a while I'm running a greddy rs bov and I like it but the way I have it set, it only opens on hard off throttle otherwise I get compressor surge which I don't mind.

          No one makes this car anymore. The government won't allow them, normal people won't buy them. So it's up to us: the freaks, the weirdos, the informed. To buy them, to appreciate them, and most importantly, to drive them.

            i got a pile of shit knock-off RFL.
            you can shim it and stuff it's very adjustable. opens up when it's supposed to.
            The thing will jam up about 30psi though.

            What i recommend is something that lets the most amount of air out the fastest so
            the tial looks the best to me.$$$

            The HKS SSQV looks like a bullshit gimmick that makes those evo sounds.
            people want certain jdm sound they pick out an hks. you want a clean fast pop off tialq is my #1

              I hate that sound as well.
              You can take off the finned tip that makes that lame sound and it's just a big woosh sound after that.

              I chose it because it doesn't use a spring that you have to adjust, just like a Synapse BOV and it had a re-circ tip option that I was using for a while.

                  Tial Q. Run the same on my fiesta and its awesome. One of my favorite parts about the TiAL Q is you can buy every single part to it for rebuilds and repairs. I have only heard them getting sticky when they get dirty but its so easy to take apart and clean.

                      lol, I have a $20 ebay BOV. Leaks a tiny bit around the adjustment screw and valve under static pressure testing but not enough to make a difference at WOT. I would run that nice Tial Q, but my engine cost less than thing I'm not made of money

                            Was running a SSQ but switched to a Tial 50mm.

                              I have the HKS SSQV, got it for a good deal, didn't want that high pitched sound.. it's perfect. Not sure why but it's just a relatively quiet whoosh sound, not high pitched at all or overly loud.
