our cars are driven my mass airflow. the computer has registered the air and has set aside fuel for that air. when you vent it, it never reaches the cylinder, but the fuel does. you end up running really rich and waste economy. with a DV, the air is simply put back in the intake system and doesn't have to reregistered

Oh god.. not ANOTHER one of these threads.

I prefere a vented BOV... cause when you shift it takes time for the turbo to spool in between the shifts anyways. That and the surge of fuel helps to cool the piston crown.

Negative... do not have a running vehicle right now. Well I have a 200SX that's the daily beater, but it's too slow to count as running, more like walking at a brisk pace.

However, I have driven several different kinds of turbocharged cars with various setups and I've never known the BOV's to cause any problems to warrant fabbing up recirculation pipe work.

I recirculate on my Galant VR-4 w/ the Greddy S-type. It will stall occasionally if it is NOT recirculated.
