Default Which BOV should i buy?

Well, i did a search and noticed (like in the thread just below this on this page), that my greddy kit does not come with a BOV.... (when i opened the box i searched frantically for it and noticed it wasn't there. then i did some research on the internet and finally realized it doesn't come with one).

ok, here's my dilemma. i am completely NEW to turbo systems and do not know what kind of BOV is right for my application and personal tastes. every thread that came up on a search was just general questions like "which is the best", etc..

well i'm not concerned with which is the overall best - i want the best for my application. (in other words if i can spend 100 bucks a good BOV, why would i want to spend 400 on a fancy one?)

i have a d15b vtec that is running the greddy turbo kit for the '92-'95 civic... i have an IC setup as well.. probably will be running between 6-10 pounds of boost, depending on how much i build up the motor (won't go over 8 if i don't change the internals).

which BOV would work for me? i heard people recommend the Greddy Type S a lot, but i also heard that was loud. i am not big into the "chirp".... i don't mind a small or hushed "whoosh", but the chirp is a bit much for me. the nice whooshing of the old Grand Nationals is more along what i like...

obviously you can't listen to the sounds of them online.

can anyone recommend one for me?

greatly appreciated!

oh yeah and at 8 lbs of boost, do i need to upgrade the injectors? thanks!
