No, you will not need to replace your BOV. If you want the BOV sound, get an aftermarket intake.

You feel you need a BOV for what reason? On an otherwise stock car it will do nothing for you. These aren't Hondas, so yes with certain mods you should get a tune. That means you should plan your mods and that plan needs to include a proper tune.

Here is another BOV FAQ that's a little newer (2008 vs 2003), but pretty much along same lines.
