if it's not tuned right, it'll make you bog & hella rich between shifts. tuned right it works just fine. i have done back to back tests with mine and it feels the same as stock bypass when i shift. but let the bov hate comence

do your homework and sell that BOV-
I had it on my WRX and took it off immediately after installation-
If you absolutely must have a BOV, then I highly recommend the GFB (go fast bits) Stealth BOV. It is fully adjustable, so you can quickly eliminate any backfiring/hesitation/idle issues. Also, you can decide how much air to vent and recirculate. Check out scoobysport.com for more info.

Properly Tuned...

Hey Munky...

Can you please shed some light on what you mean by "Properly Tuned..." What did you do to make your HKS SSQV work properly?

I have the APS BOV (50/50) and it works great...I use the AVO Short Ram Intake...With the short ram, I can really hear my turbo spooling up and it definately makes the bov louder...if you have a recycling one like the GFB hybrid or APS...

I have access to a HKS SSQV and was going to try it out (for the sounds)...however with all this discussion about bogging and running super rich...I'm not sure I want to even hassle with it...

Please inform us all on how you tuned your engine or bov?

Thanks,
