1G BOV question

[a73_4g67]

Engine: 4G63T GVR4 JDM Engine. Bone Stock, FWD setup.
Car: Mirage/Lancer 4 Door Sedan. 96 Model.

Here's my question:

My BOV is the stock 1G BOV. What if I remove the hose that is vented back to the Intake tube going to the Turbo. If I'm not mistaken, this type of BOV is recirculating. I tried once to vent it off the atmosphere,
by removing the rubber hose from the BOV that goes to the Intake pipe. It produces a wonderful (ppssssst) sound. Better sounding than recirculating the air back to the intake pipe.

Are there any performance/reliability/problem issues if I do this setup. I'll just capped off the hole in the intake pipe so there'll be no air leaks.

Just the huge air leak back through the BOV any time you're not running boost.

Put the candle back.

Sorry, that was put the VENT back.

i wouldnt mess with it cause that rubber house is a part of your vaccum and if you take it off you will recieve inaccurate vaccum readings.
