Default BPV's help with the turbos. BOV's make more noise, but can make the car run more lean(m)
It can cause the MAF to take a dive. That's about all I know.

Default Would run rich...
MAF wouldn't necessarily go but ECU might go into "limp" mode, especially if you are running rich at idle.

Default They have a place on some cars just not on ours. The way I understand it the BPVs re-circulate the
air while the Blow offs release it to make sure the back pressure doesn't spin down the turbos. Oh yeah, and the chick go crazy for the "tsshhhhhhhhhhhhh" ; ) But if I had a WRX, I'd probably have one.

I know the s4 has diverter valves but what would be the down fall of using blowoff valves instead?
