    What recirculating BOV kit?

    I'm looking to replace my standard recirc BOV as it's starting to leak a bit. I want a good quality kit. No interest in shiny bits or cool sound, just want function over form. And want a plug and play kit so don't have to mess about finding fittings etc.

    So any suggestions? :-)

    Apex no longer do their kits... :-(

    I had one of these and it worked well on my stage 3a 14a just need a bit of long hose to go back into the intake. It was like night and day compared to a BOV. Made a whoosh thump noise, which was not "look at me" but supirising agreeable to the ears.

    Cheers. But I've been running that already for the last 11 years. But not I suspect that it's getting tired... It seems intermittent. But could be a small leak elsewhere...

    changing gear or when off throttle it felt like it was ready to go again when back on the power as oppose to the feeling of having to build up pressure. General running was also greatly improved no popping or bangs.
    It was also a bailey bov that it replaced which in hindsight were Ploppidy Plop!

    I like my Tial QR recirculating valve, it's man sized and efficient with just the smallest sound, it maps well and doesn't leak.
    I have had a ssqv which was good drama and sound but made the car backfire and lost boost when dumping to atmosphere.
    Also got a Bailey dump to air somewhere that fits in the standard position it was on the sr20rx8 that I have and i took it off to run pigeon

    I've got a forge recirc valve too and found it a good improvement from standard
