Pros: Adjustable, good price, audible blow-off
Cons: Trimming of engine cover required.

I bought this BOV for a great price and installed it the same day. Looks great under the engine cover and provides a nice blow off sound. Dresses up under the hood as well with some shiny chrome! My only complaint is that it could definitely be louder.

Pros: Adjustable 50/50 or 100% VTA, holds boost over stock BOV, audible blow-off, under-hood bling
Cons: Requires trimming of engine cover, not very loud

I got this for about $100 less than I could find the GFB Hybrid, which is why i chose to use this blow-off valve. I would say this BOV is probably equal in quality to any of it's competitors. The type of gasket it uses is definitely better for holding higher levels of boost. The 50/50 valve causes no issues with the cars normal operation, and allows you to hear the car blowing off. Unfortunately, this BOV is pretty quiet by my standards, and you can't really hear it unless the windows are open. Also, the engine cover will require trimming to fit with this BOV. I found the adjustability by washers makes little to no difference in the way the BOV performs. This is overall a good product for the money, and dresses up the engine bay a bit
