Default Noise,BOV, Thoughts

Looking at Stage I kit and was wondering about the BOV conversion at the same time. Good Idea? Is it needed for increased performance? I think I understand that this is just a venting thing. Release is now back to the intake, with the BOV it is released to outside. Was wondering where outside is? What effect does it have to the area it is released to with the BOV? Dirt, heat, etc. Is it really loud? Really like the PT for ride and quite, almost as much as the power, almost. The kit I see is a triangle blue plate with gasket, is this what I want? $69.00 is price. Have a FM coming, hate to blow the money but really think it is the best investment I can make with wanting mods and wanting to do them myself. It was the first thing I bought when I got my sportster, and 1200 miles later I had the top end off, new pistons and cams, polished my combustion chamber and exhaust ports, and living with the FM night and day for a week or so.

The same reason I am resisting an Intake, put a K&N drop in as soon as I took the car off the lot, but again do not want the sound of the intake. Will run to Wall Mart today and look for water collectors to put them on the PVC side and valve cover to intake side, and remove the white block then to let it breath a little better, know (heard)there are three, so need to find the other two, will search the fourms.

Anyway tanks to the list I have learned much in a week or so, got my stealer to put the rear sway bar that was "missing" on at no cost thanks to you guys. And I enjoy seeing all the mods guys are doing.

Got BTG exhaust in the mail.
Will order the BOV and Stage I Monday.

Any help, suggestions are very much wanted right now.
