Blitz, atmospheric. I'd recirculate it but it's the way I got the bov. Just too lazy right now and it's not hurting my drivability, so why bother.

Blitz BOV sounds freaking nice, I think SR`s can go with atmospheric setups alot better than most MAF setup cars, what kind of gas mileage do you get?

I want to run a tial 50mm just because recirculated setups are usually more pain then they are worth on most setups.

Loud BOVs are for ricers, the last thing I want to do is attract more attention to my car than it already does.

Well around ATL the fact that you are driving an s chassis is going to attract attention, and a BOV doesnt make someone a ricer because a BOV is an performance safety net....Unless you have one of those fake bov sounding things under your hood.

Im in the market for another Blitz unit. I thought the one I had performed pretty well. I dont care if it makes noise or not. It did the job well so thats what I'm going for....plus the hot pipe I have already has a flange for a blitz unit.

I think you need to re read my statement. I did not say BOVs are for ricers, I said loud BOVs are. If you are choosing your BOV, and recirculating it, specifically to make a loud whoosh when you shift, then you may as well stick a giant wing on the trunk.

apologies...

If these guys want someone to know they have a turbo then by all means let them. In fact its pretty hard to hide because so many 240's are running them now. I prefer the low key option as well, but driving a kouki in Atlanta does not give me that luxury. The car is a sought after car and its about as rare to see as a Ferrari or Lambo in my area. I have to worry about people stealing the car whether its built or not.
