Post Do I need a BOV?

Hey guys, gotta Newbie question. Do I need a Blow off valve?
Or under what conditions would I need a BOV?

So far my only mods are.....

Cobb AP Stage 2

Helix TB

Titek UP I just got put in this Weekend!! (PAUL @ DB TUNED FTW!)



Now I have to admit I like the PSSSSTT!!! sound from the BOV, but does it offer a benefit??

i lawled at this coming from you....

but to answer your question, yes you need one. it will help keep boost and let out unmetered air causing your car to run super rich and hopefully blowing up your motor, causing you to sell your subaru and never own one again. The Subaru community will thank you!


P.S. get one that goes WOOOSHTHTHTHSHISIITITTTTTT not PSSHHHTTTT
