Good god. Put it in today. It's loud. Slightly larger in size. It seems like considerably more air flows through it. You still have that aircraft-like noise. It's quieter in that aspect though (thats a plus IMO). But when under WOT and you let off the gas, it's easily 2x louder than the Vortech BPV (which is a plus IMO as well). Oh and its a direct bolt on.

So how does it feel compared to before? Does it get into boost sooner on WOT, or is it the same as before with just a different sound? If you could post a video that would be great.

When you say it's 2x louder on decelration, is the sound just louder, or has the pitch of the sound changed as well.

Well you can adjust the screw to let you get into boost sooner like you can on the Vortech BPV.

The sound is louder and seems like a slightly higher pitched woosh sound. I'll try and get videos.

Yes thats it. But theres 3? I was only aware of two different BPVs. A regular type and a race type. I have the race type. I had no idea there are different spring types.

I would take it off and check but it was such a PITA getting the pipes to line back up. But they do work and get the job done. And from what I hear/feel, it seems like it's better too.

. Still $229 at Intense. I don't understand how we could use the NOT racing version.
It says
These push type valves are adequate for the airflow associated with engines producing upwards of 300hp.
heh
