That's what I was talking about. It's not needed for low boost levels... you really don't need to worry about the stock BOV not flowing enough air if you're still running a stock BOV. The only people who I know that run that way that aren't pushing a lot of boost do it for stealth purposes.

I must say, the stock BPV on my MR2 is LOUD... so's the Bosch that's on my former Supra... they've both got much larger apertures.
