Welcome! You have to get tuned for a bov. otherwise, you're just hurting your car.

Don't get me wrong. I like the sound of a vta bov, but unless you're running more boost than your stock bpv can handle then I can't see myself rationalizing it. Hey, if it makes you happy then go for it.

welcome and nice color choice.

I like the "woosh" sound too, but going with an upgraded intake + cobb ap or tune is another option I went, and prefer. You still get the sound and power increase. but like mentioned to each their own :-)
