a bov on an otherwise stock car will **slightly** decrease performance as far as i know..but its barely noticable and to some people the sound of an aftermarket bov is worth it

this might be a stupid question- is my car stock 2 u? - sti exaust, sti suspension, sti seats, blitz cold air intake. . .? i want your honest opinion cuz i want a good answer for justification on buying a BOV. i want that little noisemaker only if i can seriously enjoy it. my friend is selling his cuz he's tired of it.

If you like the sound then just buy it mate, it's not like you'll really notice any degradation in performance from it.

Mike is right, you wont notice any decrease in performance(unless its like 100% atmospheric). However, with your modifications theres absolutely no need for a BOV, so unless you plan to get a new turbo sooner or later it would just be for the sound. If you want the sound then go for it because the effect on performance isn't even noticable enough to be a factor. If you want to improve your cars performance, forget the BOV and get pullies or tuning or something.

being a semi-retired mustang owner/fan i am kinda new/leary of dealing with anything electronic so i am kinda like "huh?" when it comes to things like engine mgmt/turbo t. etc. . . if i get pulleys will i still have to mess with the ecu?
