all 100% atmospheric bov's will make u run rich.

So that leaves u with 50/50 hybrids. And even those will make u run somewhat rich. Your best bet is to leave the stocker on because it does its job well.

remove the silencer and plug in the elbow. That will make the spooling and the boost very audible in the car. You'll also get to keep your stock BOV.
