what BOV works?

a friend of mine wants to slap on a BOV on his wrx. he has the basic boltons. hes heard it all about people losing hp and their car running like crap, but he has also met other wrx owners who have bovs that said it ran fine for them.

im sure there are BOVs out there that work good for a wrx. any recommendations?

It has to be recirculating to work properly.
Forge makes one, so does Greddy.

i woundnt recomend a 100% vent bov it made my car run rich causing low gas mileage and had poor shifting because the revs would not match shift points.
