Default Re: Getting a Stage 1, worth it to get a BOV?

They are fun but very little if any benefit, as you are already running a BOV (actually a bypass valve) that reroutes boost when the throttle closes back to the intake system. The Mopar unit just routes it to atmospher instead. So ultimately you can say that you are not routing boosted hot air back into the intake but that is negligable...I say get one anyhow, I enjoy mine when I get some self appointed speed monitor driving 10 MPH below the limit. I get into boost and make sure I blow off right as I go around him at his open window...childish maybe...fun definitely.
