I have a 95 talon awd looking at bov, bit their is just so to choose from any sugestion
 
Based on the non-information you've provided and the total lack of mods in your profile, ill recommend you stick with stock until you figure out what is going on with your keyboard to keep it from completing coherent sentences.

Lol, if he's stock, we could have just recommended the SSQV and wait for his thread about idling issues.

While I'm here, if it hasn't already been done, I suggest you go to a 1g metal BOV. The 2gs BOVs are known for breaking. Your choices are limited on a stock setup because you have to recirculate the BOV to maintain the closed-loop intake the computer expects. There are recirculating kits for many BOVs, but if you're looking for awesome sound, just wait until you can get a GM MAF or speed density.

If you have any of the above setups, ignore what was said and I suggest the HKS SSQV, I believe there is a "4" model out now too. They sound great and it is what I plan to get. Another common one is the Greddy Type S.
 
^ That's good info. Recirculating the BOV is very important with the stock MAF.

But we definitely need more info on the car. Not all BOV's are the same. Some can be installed in the stock rubber grommet, such as the stock Evo BOV. Others need a specific flange to be bolted or clamped on, which often requires removing the stock plastic pipe that goes under the fuse box.
 
To add to the previous post, if you choose a BOV that has to be bolted on, you can get an adapter flange that will slip into the stock intercooler piping like the stock BOV does. That's how I have my 1g installed, but i've only seen it for the Type S as well. Haven't really looked though.
 
Xspower makes one fairly reasonable that will go in the stock pipe with a detachable elbow fitting that lays it over so it doesnt hit your hood, and you can recirculate it. And its held 25 lbs on my setup
 
Go for a 1g metal bov. Those are really cheap to get and they work great. They also sound good too (obviously not a ssqv or rs/rz etc. but it sounds nice) Both of my 2g cars have the 1g bov on them.
 
anything thats adjustible,RFL,hks ssqv(only if it has the ajustible bolt in the back ), as long as you set these tight then youll be all good,im running a hks ssqv to atmusfear with stock maff,i have it all the way tight and i have no leaks, or idel problems, dont buy any cheap junk bovs, they attend to freez up or break.you can always find a good one with a reserculating atachment,that would be your best bet

I believe just the original,hks SSQV, might of been adjustable not the new ones. If you buy one and its is adjustable most likely a fake.
 
hsk ssqv,,ive had it on my car for alittle over two years now and i run my car hard on a dayly bases,(16psi). no vacume leaks,no idle problems,and it works good,but like i said only if it has the bolt in the back to tighten the spring(if your running to atmosphere).if not hell have a massive vacume leak HERES A PIC ON THIS SIGHT of the one im talking about
