Best BOV for 15+ psi?

Sounds like you planning something. Have you looked at the 996 billet for around 140 I think.

I run 20+psi, and I use the stock BOV (993 part#).
If you use a MAF or AFM DO NOT vent to atmosphere. The air you will be venting was measured by the AFM or MAF sensor and accounted for by the DME...

stratmosphere hyberboost (get the adjustable and crank it down a bit for 18+ psi apps).
www.stratmosphere.com -- specifically:
Hyperboost
i'm a big fan of mine, all metal, so it's not going to tear/leak like the saab / bosch / 993 one.

Bailey Motorsports also makes one.. works great on my car. It is rebuildable and has different springs availible, unlike the Forge. 
EDIT: The Forge above is rebuildable.. however, the older 006 is not. Good to see Forge now makes them with a bolt flange so you can repair it.

Sorry but I had to chime in here..
You guys keep referring to the BPV (Bypass valve) as a BOV (Blowoff Valve).
Porsches/Audi's/VW's and most other turbo applications do not run blow off valves (which sends extra boost to the atmosphere), we run Bypass valves (or sometimes referred to as Diverter valves, these valves redirect boosted air back into the intake system).
Glad I got that off my chest - heh

yes, we know. it's just common usage - like kleenex vs toilet-tissue (obviously a n00b might get a touch confused and think he/she can vent to atmosphere but that topic/issue/problem is already touched upon in this post).

Fast 951, you are running that high? I want to run 18 PSI or at least have the ability, how safe is this on mostly stock parts? I am willing to spend money to be able to do this but most on the board appear to be running 15-16 psi.
