Anyone replaced the "stock" BEGi recirc valve?
I've had my BEGi S4 kit for about 6 months now and i'm thinking about replacing the recirc valve with a nice bov (HKS ssqv maybe?). the one that came with the kit has alway leaked and whistled at low psi ("is there someone playing a flute under your hood?" "no thats my bov"). the guy that tuned my MSPNP said i should just get a nice one cus the plastic ones dont last long anyway. what dou you guys think? replace or fix somehow?

Forge makes an all metal direct replacement if you want to continue to recirc and just pnp.
Otherwise get whatever freakin valve you want.

But anyway, I replaced my BEGi generic BOV with a Forge, its seems to be a pretty good piece. I think the major problem with the BEGi BOV is that it has a plastic plunger, which probably deforms and whatnot
It kinda looks like this, they dont seem to make mine anymore

FYI I hated my HKS my knock off Greddy type S has served me much better for only $60 new.
OP: Check out silicone intakes.com They carry a knock off of the forge recirculating valve for $45.

I also bought a real HKS and I can honestly say I wouldn't do it again. There are too many cheap ebay BOVs with a good track record to ever pay for a "name brand" BOV.

I've got a Forge Splitter valve. I'm able to run either comepletely re-circulating, fully VTA, or a 50/50 split. I've tried all 3 and have since left it on the 50/50. It gives a nice audible PSH sound but not crazy loud like the VTA. But it was about $150.

The Mitusbishi valve is one of the most reliable on the market, short of melting the darn thing. Two recorded failures in 20 years. If yours is still under warranty, you should send it back to me to be replaced!

Just remove the recirc components and use it as a vent to atmosphere. I'm using an all aluminum porsche recirc valve as a vent to atmosphere. Works great and holy hell is it loud. I scare so many pedestrians...
