Why bother "being ok for a while" and damage your turbo for a while then decide to go with a venting system after you've already beat on your turbo for a while? Why not prevent any possible problems and do it right the first time? Whether it's a BOV or a compressor bypass valve, they both do the same thing. If you buy a top of the line BOV most of them can be used in recirculating setups. I bought an adapter for my HKS SSQ that was only 12.00. It will work just as well as any CBV.

Look at all the top of the line european turbo cars now, Audi, Porsche and even VW are using CBV on their turbo systems. So why wouldn't he need to vent his system? I just don't understand why you wouldn't want to.
