i know there are ppl running both types of BOV. and i know the recirc is recommended. but i want ppls opinions and expirences on both.

i want the sound of an atmospheric, but a recirc would be nice for the better throttle response ect.

I vented with stock plugs, and they would foul about 3-4 weeks, stumble pretty bad, and just kinda suck.

I now run Bosch Platinum Iridium Fision plugs ($10/per) and they rock. No stumble anymore. I do recirculate when I need throttle response as the turbo spools much faster recirculated.

That's a stylistic choice man. My first wife wouldn't want that but she was no wuss. She has many kills to her credit, she doesn't have the childish need to be obnoxious like you,,,and me

YEAH I am with r34 gtr I like flames and I dont' like my neighbors however I think with my skills the only fire coming from under my hood would be that the car is on fire
