You have a bypass valve (BPV) not a BOV. Research, research, research.

If you really want to add something that releases boost above a certain level, look at 928 Motorsports website for a boost relief valve.

GReddy Type S BOV works well with the centrifugal superchargers. Certain BOV react better then others. You just replace the bypass with the BOV (weld it in?). As far as setting it... I'm not sure. May need your tuner to do it.

a good vortech BVP replacement is the HKS bypass. I got it when my bvp was leaking boost. It sounds much better IMO and most people agrees. Sounds more like a turbo bov, slightly higher pitch PSSHHH than the stock vortech bvp. functions the same and everything.

I couldn't imagine the Greddy type S sounding good on the highway when you're not boosting.

I don't, i'm not sure if a video would caple the clarity to distinquish most BVP/BOV out there. It's just a sharper, slightly higher pitch vortech bvp sound. I don't think you will disapoint, plus it's direct bolt-on with the same 2 bolt flange, I'm sure you can easily recoupe most of your cost to resell it.
