Default BOV vs. Diverter Valve
Apparently, theres a difference between the two, but which is better for the 2.0T engine overall?

Default DV reroutes the boost to the low pressure side of the turbo when you're off the throttle
BOV simply relieves the pressure into the atmosphere plus you get that pfsssshhhh sound that's more suitable for a Subaru or an old-school Audi.

So with a DV, you get less turbo lag.
