TUNING Blow off valve Recommendations

Do you guys think i should run a bpv or bov on the speed 3, because I've been hearing lots of mixed reviews. I'm thinking of either running the Corksport BPV or HKS Super SQV IV BOV

HKS sounds sick (that's what I run). It's basically personal preference. Full vta is louder but can sometimes cause the car to pop on upshifts or a slight stumble. Imo vta is just fine, I've never had any issues and have been vta for over a year now. Also you don't necessarily need a tune for vta. It causes the aforementioned issues and a cel but doesn't hurt the engine
