Does anyone have spare OEM BOV for sale, cheap??? I snapped the nipple off mine(again) and I'm getting tired of epoxying it.

Wasn't it confirmed that the BOV's CAN in fact suck in air momentarily under certain circumstances? I believe this pertains to the stock BOV's only. I'd stick a filter on the end if possible, just in case.

Question, but before you dog me about it, I asked before, can't remember, and am still learning. Isn't it bad to vent atmospheric due to the lack of recirculated air? Does/Doesn't the oxygen sensor make up for this loss? is it okay to run the BOV vented without losing (in whatever the miniscule amount may be) any power, gas mileage, etc.

Call me gramps!
The sound of a stock BOV is "okay," then again, I'm not able to WOT my new motor until I get ~400 more miles on it. I guess we'll see after that. Anyways, I'm glad I didn't waste my money on an aftermarket BOV, as the stock ones is more than suitable for stock boost levels.

My buddy has this problem where his stock BOV purges air at around 4k rpm and his top end is suffering because of it. Is there any viable correlation to the venting at 4k rpm and his missing top end?
