When I removed my bov i made a 1/4 inch think peice from aluminum that covers the whole you leave without a bov then just put on a new gasket and bam I'm back to bpv. I'll post a pic n the morning but don't have one atm

I've run a bov in tandem with the stock bpv for almost a year now. I never had any issues with af ratio at all. However, like the guy says, it doesn't "wooosh" like most bov's will do. This is the case in lower rpm's and lower levels of boost. If i boost to anything above 10psi it will actually release excess boost into the atmosphere, otherwise it seems to only use the stock bpv to release pressure. Running the same bov as whats on this car btw

what issues are you having with the bov? i have a bov with no tune and hav no issues with my car at he present time. get a tune for it not hard. you should be able to get a tune for the same price as new piping, no point in getting the upper if your not getting the lower, unless your not into modding.

No mechanical or operational issues just don't want it on there. If it provides no gains then I see no point in it being there. That and when I open the hood I see this big purple BOV staring at me... not down with purple.

Well I finally got a chance to install the upper c/p that 05RallyYellowSS was kind enough to send my way. Been running it for a couple of days and no issues. I'm glad I put it on too cause I had to take it back to the dealer today for a new HPFP. I also gave rectorc08 the BOV for his turbo swap.
