Engine/Power - EJ20T (pre-2006 WRX and JDM) There is replacement for displacement, it is forced induction - OEM 2.0 liter turbo engines in the USDM WRX. 90-94 Legacy Turbo EJ22 turbo engines can also be discussed here.

Which BOV would you run?

Stock, unless you're willing to sacrifice performance and drivability.

For this combo I would recommend two things. First-keep the stock fricken valve-it can handle your set up. Second-make sure you ditch the MAF and go with a nicer intake set up.

Why do people have to spend money on counter productive things? If it's not gonna make you faster, don't waste your time.

no, just makes a cool sound when you let off the throttle. it is a big debate on whether or not it actually hurts performance on a stock vehicle.

It doesn't just make a cool sound. There are two reasons to upgrade;
1) It won't flow enough air to do it's job for your application
2) It's leaking

well, since he asked about putting one on a new, stock vehicle, i assumed that: a)it was not modded, and b)that is was not broken, so it does flow enough air, and the one he has works fine
