Best BOV for New 2007 Mazda3Speed??

I just recently purchased my new Mazda 3 Speed and was wondering what is the best "Bolt-on" BOV on the market. I need that BOOST noise but want to be able to take it off when I take it in for service so as to not void the warrenty. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

My suggestion is don't do it.
It's not a good idea to vent the BOV to the atmosphere on the MS3 motor.

Dont do it. The engine is just fine like that. Noise, forget about it!!!!! Keep it stealthy.
The BOV wont help your HP either.

Turbo Smart, they even have there "stealth" series avaliable now.

The street-legal alternative. The Plumb Back systems vents all excess pressure back into the intake system. Great for enthusiast not wanting to be noticed and perfectly legal!
Available in a range of outlet diameters.

This is the one that you would want to use on the MS3 for daily use.

Dual Port vents both to the atmosphere and back into the air intake. Dual ports with sequantial timing allow quieter operation during normal driving, while getting all the benefits of a Supersonic BOV under race conditions.
Available in 25 and 20mm outlets.

This is the one that you would want if you had more boost then stock (dual port so you get the sound). We are a Turbo Smart dealer so as soon as our vendor section is up we will be adding those parts to the website for you to buy. Thanks.

isn't a pain in the ass to get the blow off valve back to stock?

bov swap can be done in less than 15 min.
dont run VTA recirc it with a CAI and it will sound good and run good !

Believe it. I have a recirc BOV in my Evo with a CAI and since the day I put in the CAI I could hear the BOV load and clear.

15 minutes really? thats not bad at all, is there anyway the dealer could tell it had been swapped after its returned to stock.

I've looked at where the BOV mounts and unless you cut things up I don't see how he could possibly tell... Maybe if hs sees the area scratched up a lttle but that is really stretching things.

cool, I don't need one now but once I tune this car I am sure the stock plastic pos wont cut it. The blow off valve on my old 1.8t cracked and that car was stock

What about a dual chamber unit (second one pictured in my post above). It splits the VTA between the 2? Kind of the best of both worlds.

The loud BOV sound is not appealing to me and I don't want my car running richer than it already does. I don't mind it with a CAI, but I don't want the VTA sound.

Then the one above it would work for you, very quiet and almost stock like but with control for your BOV. Not sure if the stocker has a problem with the BOV leaking like the old mitsus but if it does then the 1st one would be a good option for those that want quiet with there BOV.

There have been no reports of the stock BPV leaking at all.

a BOV is just for show at this point.

Well talking about leaks and not trying to get off topic but has anyone boost leak tested there car? I know that most stock turbo'ed cars always have leaks somewhere. I will be doing that this week to see what the deal is on that and then checking the system for faults. I will post up my results.

Not so much for show as it would be for keeping the boost up between shifts. Most factory BOV's vent all the way down to vacuum, aftermarkets are adjustable. Just a heads up on that.

I guess I will wait until someones stock BOV starts leaking before I consider an aftermarket option

No leaks, but somewhere there's a photo of an MS6 BOV that blew apart.
