Cause, if you read the debate (at least here) it seems that the BOV doesn't really offer any tremendous advantage...it's more for noisemaking. I agree with you, but I think the benefit is minimal and longevity is more a product of how you treat your turbo before and after you work it.

Ah, if you have read it all you would understand that a BOV eliminates turbo lag. That means better performance. I noticed the difference as soon as I installed mine. As for longevity, you can stop and let it run for a few minutes every time, give your turbo hugs and kisses, send it flowers, but you can't stop the impellor from trying to go backwards every time you let off on the gas unless you install a Mopar or aftermarket BOV to vent to the atmosphere. Noisemaking is just an added benefit and not the specific nature of the beast. [?]

Doesnt the PT have something to relieve the pressure?
btw, I read about someone(here I think) that had to replace something cause of the BOV damaging it. If a BOV just releases the air out, how can it hurt anything?
