Or invest in a baffled sump if you're running very sticky tyres...
the killer is the long sweeping corners where the oil pick up gets starved
otherwise just drive slow
I've been running no BOV on my Gc8 for the past 4/5 months, no issues whatsoever with smoothness and boosting.
2nd Hand VF30 takes much more of a beating with antilag and is still performing well.
That said, I have a SARD blow off valve coming, to change the sound up.
*Edit* Also have Link, so no MAF.
Have you considered Blouch? Modern tech & sharp pricing depending on the features.
Only downside is the shipping from the US

Made 201kw at the wheels. Main limiting factor was the stock top mount. Have gone front mount, and booked for a retune next thursday, gunning for that 223kw (300 hp at the wheels)
Not much wonder to be had.. I have them on my Impreza, pretty S*** wet grip (2 wet sessions around Hampton downs) acceptable in the dry but they give up if you're pushing hard, that said they are cheap.
Would rate my previous RE002s more, couldn't keep them as I went up a wheel size.
For quick street driving / occasional track work cannot beat GG (hard) Compound R888s, I got great life out of the ones I have used in the past.
I have an 01 JZX110 for sale...
Good on gas being a direct injection.. has some balls being a 2.5
Modern looking, and fairly uncommon in NZ
drop me a line if that might be of interest
