you will get hesitation during shifts and if you have stock converter eventually that will go

i had GFB stealth fx and i can say it made my STi run like ****..it idled fine but because of the hesitation and backfires it felt slower

basicly you are dumping the air and throwing all that fuel threw there causing extremly rich condition during the blow off

Welcome to i-Club.
You will loss performance all to make a loud from your engine.
Aftermarket BOV's can and will actualy hurt your engine.
Running extremely rich between shifts doesn't sound good.
Do yourself and your car a favor and keep the stock OEM BOV.

If going with the HKS SSQV, then you can get the recirculating kit.
It will make the BOV quiet (which is probably not what you are interested in) but should eliminate the hesitation and backfiring problems.

i thought it was bad to get any bov unless you upgraded yoru turbo first becuase the bpv is optimal for our cars already.
