you can get close to the same sound running a dv and chip. don't mess up a great car with a honda accessery. Oh if you are looking into the bov i have some aluminum in my garage i can sell you to make that huge wing you want or some tinfoil to wrap around your wheels so they are chrome.

Don't listen to these guys. If you want a BOV get a BOV. I think BOVs are silly but if that is what you want get one. Check out the GFB Hybrid valve that is sold by New Dimensions (www.ndauto.com). It should give you the best of the DV and BOV worlds and is adjustable so that you can tinker with the sound it makes and make sure you have enough air recirculated to maintain the proper air-fuel mixture.

I know Im new but you shouldn't fry this kid just because he wants a BOV. BOV's help to preserve the life of your TURBO by keeping trapped air from spinning your compressor in the opposite direction. Its a good idea to upgrade to a BOV especially if you intend turning up the boost. I would definitely recirculate it though because you will probably backfire and idle bad when you first come off the throttle at a light. If I didnt have a BOV on my car boosting 15psi I would be going though a turbo at least every 3 months. Besides if you worry about the idling problem and running rich then you can just get a piggy back fuel controller with deceleration settings.
