This is why HKS BOV is bad

The original IX BOV is made of metal, and once crushed it can hold very high pressure. There are threads out there about this.

that sucks. i switched it from vta to recirc and its been working with no issues i haven't gotten a boost gauge so i might be loosing boost but the car does not idle funny or anything. i still need to get the stock replacement cuz i don't really care for the sound but as far as it not working as far as i can tell its doing pretty good lol. thanks for the answer though didn't know all that.




Everyone else thanks guys i have big plans for it but till then she is a good dd for me.
