Ummm....your car has a bov stock if it's turbocharged...

Only way you will harm your car is if you vent it to the atmosphere without a GM maf or speed density, as it will go rich in between shifts.

If you like compressor surge then yes bovs are bad.

To answer your question..... No bov's are not bad for turbo cars.

Venting your BOV to the atmosphere on a pre BOV MAF system is bad though.

Any vehicle with a turbo and throttle plate will have a BOV factory.

Really?

They come stock on our cars if you have a turbo model. They should always be recirculated back to the intake pipe unless you have a GM MAF or are running speed density. They do not harm our cars, but instead help. Go read up on what the purpose of a bov is and you'll understand it more.
