Default upgrade kraken bov?

i have my kraken kit for my 96 Montego blue Miata. ive heard the bov provided is kind of junk. was thinking about getting the turbosmart dual port bov, any thoughts? anything else i should make better on the kit? already going to do -an lines for the oil feed and return. also going to get the FM wastegate bracket due to krakens being mild un-painted steel and FM's being stainless.

The OEM Garrett or the OEM BW EFR setup? I've used turbosmart wastegates in the past. The rebuildable ones are pretty nice being able to swap out springs to tune WG seat pressure rather than just cranking up the preload or not having enough preload to drop boost but lose turbine efficiency.

Highly recommend, I think the WG is a good thing to upgrade and it makes adding a 3-port electronic boost controller easy in the future. If you aren't familiar, they look like this: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=3-port+was...fab&iar=images

Turbosmart is good value.
I also like the interchangable springs. The bov's can either vta or recirc easily too.
