actually BOV's are useful BESIDES the sound until AFTER 20 PSI..if u are runing UNDER 20 PSI they are not needed unless u like the sound..

sorry, to answer ur question, it wil not give u any HP gains, it just for the sound...it does sound sweet though and I think it is worth having...

p.s. Dorifto people who do not not know the primary function of a BOV should not have one..u should have went ahead and sold it to that one guy who was willing to buy it off u for more then market value..I heard he already found one though so I guess its too late though

Now what is this article saying?

http://www.spdusa.com/blow-off_valves.htm

After reading it, it seems to make a lot of sense to leave the stock BOV alone. Or am I misreading it?

Or does anyone know of an aftermarket BOV that will produce the "whoosh" i'm craving but still perform similar to the stock BOV.
