That's a question only you can answer. However, if the question was:

Do you really need one? NO

Does a BOV make a significant performance increase? NO

Will a BOV prolong the life on my turbo? Probably not, unless you plan to keep it for over 100,000 miles.

Do you want one? Probably... [8D] ...YES!!! [8)]

I'd like to keep it past 100k. So maybe I should check into it.
Should I just ask Chrysler?
Thanks.

By all means--check into it as you have nothing to loose. If the dealership where you purchased your car won't take care of you then seek out another. Some dealers just don't want to install Mopar Performance parts at all while others will do it without any issues/problems. Good luck. [8]

As for me, I finally made the decision this past week to "go for it". I purchased a Mopar BOV and plan to have it installed on my GT along with a amx1397 Brand-X Turbo Downpipe which I just ordered. [?]

The link to the how-to PDF is dead.
Anyone saved a copy and can host it up?
Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone. I just installed my BOV today at home, took me about 1 hour. All i used was a 1/4 drive ratchet and a open end wrench. You get to the bottom 2 bolts underneath. It does sound cool but thats about all you get out of it. See ya

Isn't that enough for about $60? LOL If I can get one for around $45 I may get one but it is not really a performance part just a nice to have part IMHO! I would not really worry about warranty claims as I doubt it would cause any really expensive malfunctions! I would put it in the same class as a K&N intake system.

Recommend one apply High Temp RTV Gasket Seal ($6 tube at NAPA) on both sides of the BOV gasket at time of installation. This will prevent any possible leakage (as reported by some SRT-4 owners) and, from what I have read, may increase boost by as much as 2 lbs.
