That's right, but I still run the HKS.
If you search around here enough you'll find all kinds of discussions about this but it'll be up to you.
:banana: at least it'll sound cool :banana:

You could return the HKS and get one that does recirculate 50/50 or something.

if its not full recirculating your car will not run as well.. it well run lean. ive tested it on my car. stay with stock. if you want your car to sound cooler get a catless uppipe.. its awesome. downpipe is amazing as well.

some kid came in with a 04wrx the other day with a turboxs bov, didnt hook up any vacuum lines and it looked like some 5 year old kid bolted it on.. just awful. the poor car had less than 3k miles on it and he was wondering why the CEL was on.. if you know who this kid is , smack him in the face for me.

What are some BOV's or Bypass valves that allow the tuning of atmosphere/recurculate dumping?
I have read in a few places that there are valves that allow you to tune it so you recurculate under regular driving, and dump when your are beating on it.
Soes anyone know where to get this style BOV/Bypass valve? Price? and efficiency?
Thanks alot.

I ran the HKS SSQ BOV for about a year in my WRX and just recently switched back to the stock Diverter Valve and it is 2x smoother shifting.
IMO, you should save your money and buy something that actually improves the car's performance, like a catless uppipe.
And you will run rich between shifts, not lean if you are running a 100% atmospheric BOV (ex. HKS BOV)
