Default Questions with BOV's, yes, i know many people hate them...

but after reading for a long time and searching the subject greatly, i am going to go with BOV's. But i have some questions.

Which BOV's have people here used and liked? And I really prefer a BOV that won't wake up the entire neighborhood also.

And what BOV would be the best to go with stock piping? I already have an APR bi-pipe, but the rest of the piping is stock as of now, so I am going off that. I'm not really worried about performance gains right now, I am more worried about pro-longing the life of my turbo's.

If anyone has any extensive experience, please respond. I don't want this to turn into a huge thread about "OMG THEY MAKE U RUN RICH DON'T DO IT". Its all about getting the right ones to work right, so please only people running / have ran BOV's respond with your experiences


Thanks

Default ^^^ yes, as i understand these are adjustable for the amoutn you wanted vented (BOV) and

they amount you want recirculated (like a BPV does). i'm assuming teh more you have recirculated the quieter it wil be and teh better the engine will run since the way the car is setup is for BPV (or called DV sometimes too)
