in all the other threads people say not to get one unless youre boosting 20+psi. is your car stock? if it is, they will tell you to leave it stock. but if you really want one, get a 50/50. as for the one you have, the RFL, its 100% atmospheric. your car might run rich if you have an atmospheric bov.

Well, you just mentioned the possible problems when having a BOV. Just type "BOV" in search button, you'll find more than what you're asking for. You'll most likely run into threads that will mention what XS WRX have mentioned.

Anyway, why do you want a BOV? For sound? Don't let anyone stop you from getting one, no doubt it's your car, but I just don't want you to run into some problem down the road when having a BOV. The BPV is more than enough to support power gainer mods.
