Default Why is everyone against a BOV?
Im looking to replace my stock valve but am having trouble deciding between the diverter valve of evoms or this new BOV my friend showed me. I posted the link for the website with the BOV.<ul><li><a href="http://www.newdimensions.com/products/page_11.html">http://www.newdimensions.com/products/page_11.html</a</li></ul>

Because our system is designed to use a BPV to recirc the air.

Default because your MAF is not designed for a BOV and it can confuse your ECU
potentially causing a rich condition and eventually fouling your cat.

Default GFB makes a hybrid BOV that only vents a small amount of boost to the atmosphere
I'm not sure if that is the one that you linked to, but the hybrid is supposed to give you the sound of a BOV and not run as rich as a 100% BOV.
