Dont have much to contribute really, other than I used a TXS recirc valve before and the thing sucked. Didnt matter what spring I ran or how I adjusted it, the valve was just flat out slow to respond but still managed to leak. I swapped it out for a forge valve and was good to go ever since.

 

I would go with just about anyone over TXS for just about anything regardless of the part discussed....the more I see TXS stuff the more Im convinced its junk.

I have a TurboXS 50/50 BOV. I had no fitment issues, and was going to post a how-to for trimming the engine cover around it, just have been too busy to get around to it. It hold boost just fine on an OTS Cobb Stage 2 tune. The only problem I have is that it is VERY quiet. It has a good sound, but is very quiet since it doesnt have the horn design of the GFB. I would recommend it for the money though.

yeah, i forgot that i had to trim my engine cover. Mine is pretty loud for a 50/50 it is by no means quiet

 

I guess it's all a matter of opinion/experience. Its quiet compared to:

-88 RX-7 with a GT-35R Turbo and Greddy Type S BOV

-94 RX-7 TT with HKS SSQV

-96 3000GT VR-4 with twin big 16G's and a TurboXS RFL

(These are what I have become accustomed to as far as BOV's)

 

My dad's 94 RX-7 was driving behind me, and his HKS SSQV drowned mine out from BEHIND my car.

Thats what you get for buying a knock off :lol:

for real though maybe mine is just loud because im running upwards of 20 psi and I have mine adjusted correctly. Anyway I'm going back to 100% recirc so if anyone is interested in buying mine PM me.
