Wow there is a lot of miss information and half information in here. First, some of you need to calm down. I'm sure there are people here who have never owned a turbo car so they may ask dumb questions, but don't bite their head off for it.
OK, first I have owned a 02 WRX, 04 STi and now a 01 Audi S4 so I have some turbo knowledge and I would like to clear this up for all. First a bov and a dv/bpv (dv and bpv are the same thing) do they same function, relieving excess boost pressure when the throttle plate is closed, but they go about it in two different ways. A bov vents the air to the atmosphere and thus giving you the sound. Some like the sound, some don't, its all personal preference. A dv/bpv vents the air back into the intake. The N54 has dv's because they are quieter and BMW makes luxury cars. But, because the system is a map system you could add a bov if you wanted without damaging the motor. You would only gain a cool or lame (depending on your opinion) sound on a N54 with stock turbos. The shot glass turbos on the N54 are too small to create enough pressure to over power the dv's and thus justify replacement. Should you upgrade the turbos or the stock dv's are pieces of junk (like they are on my Audi) then new dv's or a bov would be something to consider. As far as someone wondering when a bov has blown a motor just look at the 02-03 WRX. People have blown their turbos by putting a bov on a stock 02-03 WRX. Those years WRX had a pre-turbo cat (a very dumb idea that they stopped doing in the 04 model year) and like all Subarus runs a maf system. A bov on a maf system will cause a temporary rich condition every time you shift. What happens in the extra fuel from running rich burns up in the pre-turbo cat eventually destroying it and sending little chunks on cat into the turbo and thus no more turbo. I hope this clears things up and can we all play nice. Not everyone has the same idea of what their car should be so don't hate on people who want to do something you don't like. If we all did the same thing the automotive would would be rather boring. |

All what Theslik1 is true. Especially the part about personal preference.
In my current car, A4 1.8T, I have a GFB Hybrid BOV. A4's use a MAF, however the Hybrid BOV has not caused me any problems thus far and my A/F ratios are fine. My opinion, get it if you want it, don't if you hate it. And if you're worried about the "woooosh" becoming annoying, I don't even notice when I blow off now, it's kind of second nature! You can tune it out after while I suppose. Although, I'll never forget this one time I was driving back to campus and blew-off at peak boost while a woman was walking on the sidewalk. She screamed so loud! :headbang: |

I would only swap the blow off valve if there were a performance gain from doing so. Like if the stock BOV holds stock boost but not higher boost that comes along with a Procede. Then it would be a good idea to change it. Otherwise, I think changing for noise is quite ricey. Makes me think of SRT4s and Hondas.

If you think that subaru has no potential other than on dirt roads, then you are just an ignorant fool. And as far as appearances goes, it's all personal preference.

no I have 2 friends that happen to be in love with subaru's... and my buddys 05 ford focus boosted bet the holy hell out of one of my friends subie with quite a few aftermarket parts... and for the amount of $$$ you spend on a subie, plus aftermarket parts vs. my friends focus with about $4,000 into it... it was an obvious answer on why I dont like drivetrain loss... Sure they have potential...if you dump billions of dollars into it... I seriously do not like subies at all...
