just because it is not in the technical section does not give the *******s in the forum the right to be a jackass to someone asking a legitimate question about his car.
if we want to start this game, I will start moving every and all threads out of this ****hole in a heartbeat.

So next time we should just respond... Use the search function noob, instead of being blatantly obvious that we are screwing around?

geez, I-Crib is turning stupider every day. Does this thread need this sort of stupidity?
Your car's fuel system is expecting the air which is blown off, to alleviate back-pressure against the turbo, to remain in the system. The engine's computer will supply fuel based upon that conservation of air mass. If you get some aftermarket BOV and blow that air off, the computer has no idea and still supply enough fuel as though it was not blow off. This means there's too much fuel. This robs you of power, wastes fuel and causes really cool flames when you shift, especially if you run catless. Thereby attracting all the wrong attention, from Honda "drivers" to police"men".

if you havent figued out that guy is full of **** dont use a aftermarket BOV unless it is recirculating your stock one is fine for what you have. if you realy just want some sort of sound when you shift (if that is what you are going for) get shortram intake. AVO and i beleve APS mad some nice recirculating BOV's. I personaly am going to go with lots of compressor surge and not run one at all. Even though everyone tells us it will make your turbo explode I have a frind that has a Subaru performance shop in TA Canada and he has somewhere around 30 years of experence working on and driving turbo cars. He told me when I was building my car to run nothing. I am a little freaked out obout runing nothing but I am planing on geting a new turbo soon anyway so I am going to try it and see what hapens. This is my buddy in and old vid on his sweat *** AUTI (no form of bov and he never had problems with it. and you will need to be tuned for this.
