That is exactly correct madcow, that is all I done. However the blowoff can be clearly heard so it's a win win, recirculate and blow off 😄

Edit: I ran it with a bov so I can get some sound out of it and man does my setup sound nice, I will hopefully get around to it and post a video. If it's this easy to have a blowoff while maintaining circulation, I don't see why manufacturers haven't thought if this.

George, the reason no one has done it the way you did is because you can get the same effect by just running a DV without the stock air box (Carbonio or cone filter.) You can absolutely hear the "BOV" sound from my car with a Carbonio intake and 007 DV.

Ahh I did not know that but that setup Is quite expensive. I believe you when you say it makes sound.

the truth of the matter is that if you run a dual piston BOV, it will be fine. I personally wouldn't, especially on a 97-00, but dual piston BOV's don't let air in at idle which is the biggest concern.

I looked through my dash camera video and found some clips from testing out my new tune. You can hear the DV pretty well, and remember the audio is being picked up with a crappy mic.

Redline, have you ever ran your car at the track before?

Holy **** look who showed up!

Yes, I have. Nothing special though. I wont launch the car properly due to my ECS s4 clutch setup. Plus it is a DD. If I had a second car I would beat the **** out of the B5.

I have never been around a track though. Again, if it wasn't my DD the car would go on a diet and many things would change. I am also trying to get through law school at the moment, so additional mods are not an option because of cost reasons.

Here is my best slip from the strip. There was basically no launch whatsoever, but other times are respectable. I was in the right lane, of course.
