Default Should I Upgrade My BOV?

Ive been debating this and wanted to see what your opinions were. Now that I'll be seeing about 12psi and 700rwhp, should I upgrade to the Vortech Mondo Blow-off valve that A&A offers? I currently have the 38mm Turbosmart bov that comes in their basic kit. Pros cons? Im thinking less belt slippage on decel and less stress on the impellar? Thanks in advance.

2002 coupe, V2-si w/3.4 pulley, 12psi, LS3 on e85

My biased vote goes for the Tial Q

Awesome sound with less stress on the impeller. It can be as loud as you want it to be. Under 3k rpms its not too loud at all. Cruising you can't even tell its different but when you get into it you know it.

I appreciate all the help guys. I was leaning towards the tial but after talking to Josh at A&A and for ease of install I went with the Turbosmart big bubba 50mm bov they offer in their kit. Thanks again. I'll post pics and results when I get it in case anyone is interested.

I have the tial and its a love hate thing. Its loud at all times with higher rpm it sounds exactly like a stret sweeper. You can quiet it down with throwing more gears but it sounds turf there is no way hiding it if you like to hold your gears in the upper rpm. Alot of people give you that wtf is that look. Its like a street sweeper with a little whistle to it. And you get that nice washoo sound depending on boost andshifts. Can it be annoying sure but then all I do is put it in 5th or. feather the gas. I know tcruse has a video posted ill send him this thread to post it

Yes the Tial is borderline annoying at times. When I first installed it I thought I had a bad bearing or something. Buy it quiets down when you get into boost. Its a great bov but like others said some days you love it other days I hate it,
