They both seem to be oem replacements and of good build quality. I want a bpv thats simple and holds boost the best.

Go with the Forge, easy install, good price, easy to tune, stealth... Holds boost really well.
 
the forge does seem like a good choice..from the reviews the Synapse seems anything but simple,but i have zero experience on it..some valves like Synapse and RKM are talking about 20+ hp gains..which I think is alittle crazy for a bov/bpv....even though getting some extra power from holding boost better would be sweet :)
 
I have the RKM unit...works/sounds pretty good so far!

I did have to clock the top cap 90 degrees CW to get it to fit right, though...after pic:

How different of a sound will I get from the Forge compaired to the stock? I have listened to some youtube examples but the sound on my computer really sucks.
 
THe Turbo XS BPV sounds like stock but is louder. I went with the Forge for price. $150 for a good BPV is a great price and I like the sound, it grows on you.
 
Forge seems to be the easier by far. The performance of the Synapse is incredible, but far from easy to deal with.

So far, from what I can tell, the TurboXS unit will be an "easy install, good price, easy to tune and stealthy" BPV as well. The only thing we don't know is how well it performs and the sound it makes because it hasn't been released yet. So if you want one RIGHT NOW, then your only choice is the Forge.
