Oh yes, it scares people. On my way to school theres a strip of buildings really close to each other and I let off after a short 14 psi run and people on the sidewalk about shat in their pants and gave me the dirtiest looks I've ever seen. It echoes soooooo loud in between the buildings!!! :tup:

There is a guy few streets down from me. He has a STI with a bov. He pops it when he see me. he pulled over when I was putting in my turbo. He thought it was strange seeing me with a turbo and a s10 truck. he asked if it was a 4 banger. I just smilled. Now he shows off when he passes my house. I want to return the favor.LOL

I put a T on the front vac lines near the TB linkage. I used to have it tapped to the back of the intake. Both ways worked. And yes its funny as hell firing it off near a crowd.

It didn't convince me that its any better than the HKS. It looks like a PBS commercial for some guys BOV. If anyone with an HKS is worried about leaks then they could get the same recirculation adapter.

Well I'm no rocket syientist but I would guess that without actual testing, a faster acting valve couldn't hurt but does it really make a big enough difference to pay extra / ditch an exisiting one for there "better idea" at street boost levels (10-22 psi.) :dunno: . On a really high psi (30 +) full race engine I'd say sure just because you don't want to take a chance on a multi thousand dollar engine over a several hundered dollar BOV? Just my :2cents: .
