i am upgrading to a turbo soon and i want a bov agressive sound... i'm not gonna be boosting high all day... probly just the normal boost level... which one do you think offers the best sound?

I've been reading about venting to the atmo.. and crap like that and its confusing the living shyt out of me LOL, so far i've gotten venting to the atmo.. sounds alot better
Venting to the intake.. better for performance...

I'm starting to think venting to the atmo is bettter for me, cuz i wanna scare the kids aorund me, cuz i will be racing my car about 1/1000 times a drive... but now i am hearing if you vent into the atmo. your car idles crazy and will stall out if you floor it and then get off the gas fast... someone please explain.....

you what would be AWWWSOME, is if you guys all recoreded how your bov's sounded... that would be awsome LOL, or at least find a place where they have them... cuz i cant find a damn place...
 
Don't be an idiot. Don't vent to atmosphere.

Yes, venting may sound cool and all, but when your car is running rich between shifts and slowly hurting your car, then getting beat by other DSMs with softer BOV sounds, you will know what I mean :p .
If you want the loud BOV noise, get a RFL. (Real####ingLoud)
 
Do what you want, if you want the loud sound of the bov then vent it, if you want the extra 2-3hp dump it back into the intake, to tell you the truth you dont always run rich if you have a afc you can lean it out a bit. I had a small dejon intake that had it dumped back in, then I got a bigger custom intake pipe and had it vented and did not notice any difference other then the sound.
 
Plain and simple, DONT VENT unless your setup for it. Best BOV in my opinion and since I do have the blow-thru setup is the Tial.
 
since you have a non-turbo, putting a turbo on a non turbo is diffrent then stock turbo cars. they have diffrent air meters so it won't mater if you vent or run it back into the intake.
