running a tial with the 9psi spring. Little bit of surge with the stock twins, but I believe that is due to the smaller vacuum hose in use at the moment. It's all business though and especially handy when running high amounts of boost.

Previously running a blitz, worked fine. Not very loud or distinct in sound but no surge on the stock JDM twins.

deff tial is prolly the best for opening fast and not surging. depending on your hp you should have 2 if your running pretty high power.

How is the SARD bov mounted? Always has seemed a bit bulky to me. Have any pics?

Tial ftw. just make sure you choose the right spring and shim it appropriately.
If you have to use a ridiculous size hose on it to get it to open, your spring is too strong.
I ditched the stock spring for the white spring with about 1 or 2 washer sized shims.
closed at idle and opens like butter.

Runnning a HKS S/S Wastegate on my SC with a Single turbo'd GTE Motor. Works Great, No problems.

My last MKIV With stock twins has a HKS SSQV and it performed great as well
