Turbo's that blow off with no load are funny. Soo tiny...

it is not hard to install and no you do not need a block off plate to do this. You can be smart about it and save $45 from the block off plate.

is that stock charge piping? Also, what do you do with the stock BPV if you put in an aftermarket BOV? Does the BPV continue to function or is it replaced?

keep the line through it and run a T off that line then run the extra line from the T to your new BOV.

Or if you want a louder sound use a block off plate.

I am just guessing but wouldn't the HKS be louder 100% of the air was dedicated to the HKS instead of 50% by teeing it off with the facrtory BPV?

Yes but if the air is blown off at the BOV on your intercooler piping it will never reach the BPV right?

yep but still only at low boost. I have heard fro a lot of people that it's normal because the HKS BOV has 2 settings. 1 for low boost and 1 for high boost and the one for low boost flutters

See cause mine doesn't flutter. That's why I was thinking your factory bpv is still functioning.
