Excellent choice . You will love it....but the main thing is that this BOV lets out air QUICKLY, so 0 chance of compressor surge.

And Killy, I have a BOV . Its needed. BPV wouldnt work with mine anyways because I have 2 air inlets....would be a total pain and wouldnt do jack for power. Venting the air like that keeps the turbos spining durring shifts, so boost comes right back up, and prevents the boost from placing a load on both turbo and S/C impeller wheels...the increasing air pressure will try to stop the wheel. Thats BAD for your compressor wheel...overtime it will put stress cracks in them and eventually break them.

A BOV is not rice on a car that needs it.. rice is having somthing that sounds like one on a non turbo or supercharged car.
