By aftermarket, I meant NOT the one that came with the kit...ex: GReddy type S, Turbonetics, Vortech, etc...

Which BOV did you changed out to? and why?

I have the Greddy RS. My friend has the HKS BOV and changed it to the RS after he heard mine. We both felt that the HKS was too high pitched.

PE kit does not come with one, got the HKS on Cheston's recommends, with stock hood it was very quiet and high pitched, with Seibon VT hood, it is a deep whoosh sound. Rocks.

I just changed mine and I now hit 11 PSI max. I used to max out at 10-10.5.

The Turbonetics Raptor sounds better than all of the listed BoV's.
