BBK is an ok brand. Running a TB from them myself, without issue on my New Edge.

If you do searches on this forum, you will find several people who have had problems with the BBK products.

Accufab is my favorite for t.bs ... I think bbk just gets there stuff shipped over from overseas.. Kinda like the idea that accufab is made here.. And they have great quality stuff

I thought (read somewhere here) that anything more than 70mm/75mm is really just counter productive?

Anyways I have a BBK CAI (came with the car) and it seems to be made really well. doesn't look cheap. That's all I know though for BBK's quality that i've seen.

70mm for N/A, 75mm + for F/I, generally speaking. A 75 mm isnt going to lose much N/A, nor would a 78mm, not seat of the pants noticeable.
