will an atmospheric bov mess up my car or something?
Yes. If you want to add a BOV to replace a perfectly functioning compressor bypass valve, use an adjustable unit. They sound nice (if you're into that sort of thing) and look pretty but add no power.

EDIT: In CA, you also cannot pass the visual part of the smog inspection so you'll have to swap it out for the stocker at smog check time.

How will I know how to adjust a bov so that it doesnt do any damage to my car?
I've never had a BOV but I think if you adjust it so that if the car runs okay, that's the best you can hope for.

OK, please keep in mind what a noob I am....but what is a BOV and what does it do?
Makes a noise of a burst of compressed air as excess boost is bled off during sudden throttle movements. I sort of like the sound but I don't want to spend the money on no performance gain.


The new Worx BOV which seems to be gaining in popularity.
