even with a tune a BOV is bad... cause u can't register the amount of air that the BOV is going to release everytime is goes off... so..

BOV's are bad for Subaru's, tune or no tune... they are bad

the stock BPV is really the only way I see the car should be setup while the MAF is still before the turbo. air metered cars will run rough even with a tune to compensate, IMHO only run an after market BOV IF you need it ie. larger turbo or if you run a blow-thru setup with the maf on the cold side AFTER the BOV.
VENT all you want

i for see a couple blown motors..

if u think about it, a BOV ends up being a $4k mod lol.. cause after the blown motor lets hope u dont throw the bov back on and blow another motor and there another 4k and thats an $8k mod.. lol

wow, yall spend alot of money on ur cars, but u still lose power lol!
