What are performance gains with a BOV?
I was Jus wondering cus I was thinking of getting one for the sound but I have been reading on here where people are saying it makes their cars run rich. What needs to be done in order to make them work right? I would like a loud one just because I love that sound and noone where I live anyway knows what a turbo is and they all think that I have "Family" car Just because it has 4 doors hehe. But which is the best and the most installer friendly?
Thanks Sean

There are 3 reasons one would change the BOV:
1. Stock on is leaking (broken or too much boost)
2. Style/Sound
3. You have a FMIC
Adding BOV will not add performance. It might, however, bring your performance back, in case your stocker is leaking due to being faulty or if you are running a huge turbo and running lots of boost.

when you get one, get a dual vent so that it does not throw off the ECU by sending it all out 100% to the atmosphere.
I got mine b/c of the sound pretty much it doesnt really affect performance at all.
