Recirculating BOV
Do any of you RS-T owners have recirculating BOVs? is it possible? any good/bad on them? possibly on a Ludespeed kit. just curious if it can be done and if it has any effects since i've only seen people with ones that blow to the atmosphere

Most kits on the market feature BOV's that vent to atomosphere. I dont know of anyone that has a recirculating BOV on their RS-T. But if you have a MAF i dont think it would be a good idea to get a recirculating BOV because IIRC it makes you run lean and you dont want that under boost. Also BOV's make hella cool noises!

well anyways i really don't want any of those to be heard coming from my car. no bov, no wastegate, turbo whine, if possible. i just like the sounds of turbos and wastegates over bovs though, but not from my car.

Get a good ball bearing turbo, straight pipe exhaust, no cat and don't dump the BOV to atmo. That should give you the whistling turbo sound that your after. It won't be legal and will likely get annoying to your neighbors but you'll sure be able to hear the turbo spooling.

The sound gets old after a while. Especially on a long trip. The commerial toilet whoooosh and whistle in combination with the F16 fighter jet throttle up sound gets old too. My car makes so much noise now, I am a basket case after a day of driving just looking out for the cops. You know... strange un normal sounds attract cops like flies to crap...

Agreed about the bypass valve. why? noise? weeeeak! Its just air, it should vent to the atmosphere...its proly even cleaner after being sucked through a filter, heated and cooled
My Tial bov makes hardly any sound at all. You hear the wastegate and turbo over the bov unless you've taken the time to learn how to make it flutter under partial throttle. (as I have...I like to taunt V8's every now and again
)
I'll be at krispe Kreme tonight, come bug me for a demonstration if you'd like.

Hayscoob: if you hate those sounds, then give your car to me, then you'll start missing them. Just like I'm missing them with my car 100 miles away broken down 
but back on subject, if you want to recirculate, go ahead, it won't hurt you at all, there's been a few setups that recirculate, mostly MAF equipped cars so that they don't run rediculously rich when it blows off. for a MAP equipped car it doesn't matter, but if you don't want to hear the BOV, then you don't want to hear it, go ahead and plumb it back into the intake.
