In saying that iam doing much harm to the engine or should it be ok as some people I have spoken to say its shouldnt be a problem and other say its bad and im not sure if im causing any problems as the car seem's to go little better harder.Carlos.

Dont think you will find that there will be a huge difference in how quick your car is as its an auto in anycase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get an edit and be done with it, currently I bet you think it sounds like a vacumn cleaner when under load... after an edit and an up in boost you will find that it sounds completely different and more importantly... goes SO much harder... remember it's not a VL turbo and as such it won't make the ssshhh... tut tut tut like the VL's do. I for one wouldn't be messing around with the stuff that you are, Ford put it there on a stock engine for a reason, the risk vs reward is very poor... meaning you will probably blow something up, while your car is also actually slower...Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't see a need for them.My question to you is, what will he blow up or damage?? I for 1 do not mind the sound of my car when it's running sans BOV. Yes it sounds fully ULEH REH, but I like it.
