Get rid of the BOV, get a CAI if you want some
BOV like sounds. Get a Cobb AP, sell the BOV and buy a nice DP. Torque is addictive!
With the Cobb AP you can do Stg 1 or add the
DP and flash to Stg 2 you'll love it.

Well honestly the mods you have installed on the car already are scary enough consider all of the ecu issues that the 07s came with out of the factory. You should spend a lot of time on here researching parts before you just install anything. The STI especially the 07s are very sensative to mods. I personnally wouldn't have even drove off of the dealership lot without flashing to Cobb stage 1. The Cobb Accessport maps have fixed the ECU issues. You can run stage 1 with a catback, but to go to stage 2 requires a downpipe.

REMOVE THE BOV!!!!!

1. Don't install any aftermarket BOV on to the car...PERIOD. The stock Bypass valve serves a purpose and is on the car for a reason. If you want to know why it is on there then read this thread: Read this before you create a new thread about BOVs (Blow-off valves)

^^^Listen to him he knows what he's talking about. A person only needs to consider an after market BOV when he/she is pushing more than 25 PSI at least and has a bigger turbo.
