Not sure how long the link will be up - it's someone from another forum I visit (clubsi.com) - pretty cool vid with some Subies, Citroen, Poopra, etc...

Tell me what you think...

Some people claim to not have any problems with it and in reality im not sure if it is acutually bad for the engine, but with a 100% atmospehric BOV, I believe you run rich in between shifts and also reduces performance since the tubo spools down quicker. Not sure if im right, but this is what Ive gathered from all the threads on BOV. Ive also seen taht some people are running 50/50 and the difference in perforamcne lost isnt as noticeable and some claim it to be better than stock, but I guess its all up to you to try it out and see it you really like it or not. I think alot of people also try to shy people away from not getting an aftermarket BOV (espeically if its a first mod) becuase they will consider the noise rice, but some people like it and to each their own right?

BOV's are always for more noise not better performance no matter what anyone says. No matter what they still vent into the atmosphere which means worse turbo spool up and definitly worse fuel enconomy. I love the sound but if your building a car for the performance aspect you should never use a BOV. DV's are always the way to go for me.
