What year is your WRX? Cause my friend has a 2003, and he says that a BOV would actually hurt his 1/4 times cause the new WRX's have like a built in release for the compresed air or something like that. I forget exactly what he said, and if it was just for the 03's or not, but he did make it very clear that the BOV owuld be pointless. And before you say, "oh he doesnt know what he is talkin about", he has rebuilt his entire engine on his WRX, knows it inside and out.
Just thought that you should know... dont get me wrong i love the sound of a BOV too.
Other than that, awsome ride, im jelous.
Cheers

Yeah. ur right. most of the aftermarket BOV dont give performance, they actually take out performance. if u get the forged ones theyre the best (most wrx owners knows this) i think b/c they can recirculate the air instead of releasing it to the atmosphere. some takes out boost during shifitng and some affects the throttle response (something like that). the stock ones r considered better than most aftermarket BOV. i can always put my stocky one back in neways. mines 03 btw. the reason i bought the hks is because i wanna go all-HKS. its not like im gonna race my scooby in the race track u know (the professional ones). i just want a clean car that has ***** (u know what i mean) neways thanx for the support. ill make sure that when im done with the car does of u who dont like the color will like it
thats gonna take like couple of yrs tho
