everyone is going to tell you to search but imma be nice and say the turbo smart 50/50 dual port is nice and the forge valve s nice but they are diverter valves not bov a bov can cause some issues with this car.

Get an HKS super duper or whatever they're called. I heard they are really fast.

Where's Oxon Hill, anyway? Sorry for the OT question. Do you think that with a paddle shifter a BOV becomes superfluous? On an automatic trannied car, it is not needed.... Food for thought.

Edit: You'll need to define your priorities more precisely. You can start by separating the head turning process from your performance goals. Perhaps it escaped your notice, but this is afterall, the Engine, Turbo, and Drivetrain Forum. We don't discuss fuzzy rearview mirrors. The BOV, maybe, but the head turning....no!

id save money and keep the stock one. doesnt make the car go faster anyway.. if your looking for sound, get a cone filter or a intake+tune if you have the money.. you NEED a tune if you change the piping if you want any gains.

You know what you should do...vent your dv to the atmosphere and put a turkey call on the end of it. You will get so much attention yo and the horsepower will be out of this world...might even put out more power than the super dooper Evo X.
