as of right now i have the bosch bov that came with my nsport kit. when i have my car running again it will be fully built with 740cc nismo injectors and jwt ecu and 5spd. i plan on running 10psi on the street then 15-18 at the track. i doubt that the plastic bosch bov will be able to hold up to this much boost, right? i dont mind upgrading to an hks ssqv but jsut need to know if it will be neccassary. also since ill be getting my ecu retuned can i and should i get it tuned for an atomospheric bov or get the recirculation fitting of the hks?

The bosch will start to fail at about 300-350hp range depending on how much you abuse it. Even the HKS will fail if you abuse too much.

I'm not sure about the durability, but I'd upgrade since you are planning to boost 15-18 psi. You're going to need to flow a lot more air to reduce surge.

I doubt it could handle 1bar day2day safely.
