So basically no one has experianced any of these horrible running conditions that people say can happen by bolting on a BOV.

I had a problem with my GFB when I first put it on. I had it on full atmosphere and my car would backfire after getting off the gas. I switched it to 50/50 and had no problems. After I took my intake off, I set it back to full atmosphere and have had no problems.

It seems

some have problems, some not. Check this thread, according to one, his superior mechanical ability can fix any BOV

http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show...hreadid=475259

And this is from APS' website;

"The large primary vent is designed to plumb back to the standard entry point which ensures the best driveability during cruise conditions and cures the problems seen with after market external single venting blow off valves."

You decide.

maybe not. if you look at gofastbits.com read about their bov's. it seems they have an improved blow off rate which give you boost a little longer. i have really been looking into them from GFB. but maybe it is a waste.
