I guess what it comes down to is one simple question... ...Is it fast???


Naw I keed! I know if it were me I'd only get on it once in a while and just enjoy knowing that it's there.

I know if I had a turbo engine I'd have to get a BOV or something!

I am pretty sure a BOV is a necessary part of a turbo system.

My friend's mom has a stock one and in stock form it moves nicely...up the boost a little and even more (safe) fun!

Isn't there some mechanism that has to purge pressure when the throttle plate closes?
