Looks good ... Perhaps maybe get a Greddy Type-S and do the single spring mod? Or a HKS SSQV?

Well, you can get the Greddy Type S and take out one of the springs and recirculate, that way your car will not stall. i had zero problems with the foregoing setup. However, if you want the swoosh, or psst sound, you will need to open up the air filter OR you will have to vent to atmosphere (VTA). If you are going to try this with the Type S, you will probably have idle problems. To do this, you plug up the air return line to the air intake duct and you will also need to keep both springs in the Type S. Try it both ways and see which suits your needs.

thats the thing is that i want the sound also, and i figure that with half or so being put back into the intake then the VTA wont be too loud either. and that BOV does both already without any mods. im just wondering how much pressure it will be able to hold. ofcourse by the time i add a lot more pressure i will have to switch out the BOV most likely again.

Geez, guys, did you even look at the one he picked out and read the description of it? See below. It does both VTA and RECIRC and it looks like it adjusts, so it could prevent the stalling issues. Direct bolt on also, so no additional parts needed to install unlike some of the ones mentioned. It sounds like the best of both worlds to me. Let us know how you like it.

I think we did, but he also wanted to be educated about "single spring" mod and the thread followed its course.
