I heard of it, IIRC one of my friend from the UK mentioned about it and it wasnt all that it was cracked up to be... IIRC also, it was a single piston type...

Then honestly you don't NEED a BOV unless your intention is to make noise. If you're looking to do something with your already powerful STI then I'd say plan for the future. If you want a bigget turbo... Decide if it's going to be a rotated setup or stock location turbo. Most go with stock location. I'd probably suggest saving more money and going with an external wastegate setup for your current vf39. It'll provide gains in power and it's productive for a turbo upgrade in the near future. Not to mention it makes noise too just a though. Im not sure what your budget is.

The stock bpv is recirculated back into the intake system which is what you wanted with that BOV you posted.

Am I the only one that finds it ironic that it's made by a company called "Go Fast Bits"?

Why not spend your money on something that will actually make your car faster?

Im sure if you have the power modifications and supporting modifications as well it will make a considerable difference if it's properly tuned for. GFB has been around for a while and some of their products are quite well made. It's not the build quality that I'd be concerned with but if the product would be used to it's full potential and the way it was designed to be used.

Just burn a DVD or cd with bpv blow off and stick it in your stereo, turn up the volume and enjoy your bpv sound,...it'll save you money and rice points,....

Sorta like watching the beginning of fast and the furious road testing the green eclipse that had shifted so many times with it's bpv venting, it must have had a special 6 or 7 speed manual..

Thanks for setting me straight. i always get these random urges to just buy something for it. i always wanted to go a rotated turbo for it but dont have that much money saved up for it so didnt really plan hard for that.

if you have money to burn I can pm you my paypal account and you can just send that money you are so eagerly to burn to me. in turn I will put it to good use on my car and you can live vicariously through me and my well spent mod list.

don't worry about getting teased... This is no where near how it was many years ago.

"If you don't know what you want you'll probably end up with a lot you don't"

Words to live by.

Think about what you gonna buy and understand that others (including myself) will be willing to accept cash or paypal if you're willing to spend money foolishly thinking that it'll satisfy a "need" you think you have for something that makes no sense. You don't want to be like some of the others on here selling bov's like they own their own shop or parts that get purchased and sold because they have no idea what they were buying to begin with.

Happy modding

Actually, if you want, i have a set of PDE camber plates sitting in my closet. I'm not using them. If you want them that'll satisfy your urge to buy something for your car and make it faster at the same time. Plus they look sweet in your engine bay. LMK.
