The MOPAR BOV Shuts down the "Recirculation" and becomes an "atmosferic" settup like any other BOV.
The factory settup uses a 3/8" ID hose to move air from the turbo to the intake.
The "kit" blocks off the exaust port going to the hose and all the air escapes tru four 1/4" holes on the sides of the Kit. All four are pointing toward the intake system so when it open up, all the presure hits the airbox from the outside. With this settup, nothing happens because the airbox intake is on the oposite side.
With the airbox removed, the BOV Blast will hit the filter and heat it more than normal.
My concern here is that the Upgrade and increase or air escaping with the BOV can get the Filter heat soaked and maybe lowering the HP that you could get.
With the Factory "Recirculating" settup, there is much less air volume being released because of the exhaust lines and returning to the turbo at the inlet area.
In the other settup, you may be increasing the underhood temp and with the outlets pointing toward the filter, defenetly it will heat the filter more than normal and in the long run, hotter air for the I/C to cool down.
