oh really? i didn't know that lol duh. I am not a newbie to the turbo world. I'm sure I know more about BOV's than you do bud. The stock BPV is adequate enough to prevent compressor surge. An atmospheric BOV is strictly preference, mostly. I do plan on someday doing a turbo swap so yes I will need a VTA BOV eventually anyway. I had mine narrowed down to the greddy rs and the hks ssqv. Both are imho the best bov's on the market that are not recirculating. Neither will give you compressor surge as long as installed correctly so yes I did pick the hks because I love the sound better, but it does also serve a purpose (turbo swap). As far as people going with a VTA and don't plan on doing a turbo swap, to each their own. I don't think it's rice.
Nothing wrong with wanting to go see a movie to laugh at dumb asses like you.

On a pull through MAF setup like the stock TC has, a VTA BOV will cause a momentary rich condion everytime the BOV vents. That will cause a slight engine bog and hesitation It will not flutterdump (cause compressor surge) if it is installed correctly. It is best on a pull through MAF car like the TC to recirculate the excess gas back into the intake post MAF to avoid the rich condition.

Ask the people running straight thru exhausts. A BOV is hardly as loud as those
And ol' boy up there is arguing something about Paul Walker being his hero or something, I dunno

if you think the sound is close then you have obviously never rode in a car with an hks bov. I had the spring upgrade and intake on for a while before the hks bov and it is night and day. And no it is not rice. Rice would be if I put chicken wire in the grills, put a loud as fart can on the back, and put aftermarket parts stickers all over the car.

it was a reference to other types of systems used. IMO speed density is FTW. Others say maf is easier and more accurate but from my readings and some experience with mustangs and a couple of LS1's the SD is the way to go on boost. it would be nice to convert too...
I think BOV's are kickass. I dont have one but they sound nice and do what there supposed to do. If you want one then go ahead and put one on. If you want to blow it off then you understand what it does but you choose to blow off. If you want to recirculate it then choose to do it that way. I think its stupid for anyone to say they dont like them, theres really nothing not to like about one and its completely understood if you want that sound and you have a turbo charged car and are completely capable of doing so. Who the **** cares if it doesnt net you 20 HP, its not supposed to. Thats not its ******* purpose, and we all understand that installing an aftermarket BOV is NOT a performance mod. Blue HID foglights arent a performance mod either but they still are nice. $800 carbon fiber hoods arent performance mods but there still nice to have too.
Dont know why some people are getting all bent out of shape about it and have something to say. Assuming there probobly guys with supercharged cobalts who never will hear it anyday anyways. But if we go to their forums about ways to increase supercharge whine you never hear anyone bitching or saying its bullshit. Whatever people always have to bitch I guess, thats why they make flamesuites.
