I took out my ACV and AIR pump baffle... buddy asked if he could use it on his KA-T 240sx, this is what he did with it.

You can barely hear the BOV... it's pretty awesome!

On aftermarket turbos bov's are not required. I have personally observed compressor surge kill stock turbos in only a couple weeks after converting to no bov.

I'm going to set the record straight... before my buddy put on this BOV, his turbo would surge every time. Maybe it changes from turbo to turbo... but his cheap China special turbo would definitely surge.

The engine in the picture is a KA-T so it is obviously not running a stock turbo, hence the recommendation to run sans bov.
However because I know this forum and its inhabitants, I added that the stock turbo can be damaged by lack of a bov just in case someone read my initial comment and incorrectly deduced that bov's are never beneficial.
