Do enthalpy ECU's tune for atmospheric BOVs or would I still need to recirculate my car to prevent stalling?

It will work fine atmospheric. SR's are very sensitive to that anyway, DSM are bad about it though. But again, I'm running one w/ no issues.

Yes they tune for that. Are you just wanting to keep the chirp sound because it's jdm tyte?IMO- It gets really old and every one on the road knows you have a turbo. Just recirculate and be done with it.

Well there are several reasons for not recirculating it. I am thinking about mounting it on the cold side for starters. Yes the sound gets annoying at times. However its also funny mess with people. Before you go bashing on my me about being "jdm tyte" you might want to take into consideration that you are not talking to a 16 year old kid. Im all about function over form. I'm also entitled to do what I want with my car. If i didnt want the chirp sound I could just take the insert out.

Besides the bov sound is half the fun of having a turbo setup . Don't see how it would get annoying, I think you would get used to it after awhile if anything.

My BOV is a blitz that I custom re-circ'd and it's still loud as f***....runs alot better too. Aren't there some negative effects to running your BOV on the cold side?

There are always pro's and con's to each situation. One pro is that its closer to the throttle body so the vacuum source is closer and its also more responsive. The con is that it is hard to re circulate it unless you want a fat hose running across the bay.
