hotblk pt do you realize this is just a plate installed between the stock recirculating bov and the turbo? If you really want to see I'll get a digital pic for you but there's not a whole lot to look @ .

In a nut shell, it vents excess boost presure to atmosphere instead of venting it back into the system. When vented back into the system it can slow down the turbo impeller and may try to reverse the impellers direction which could damage it. Better turbo response and durability, not to mention the cool sound !
I feel this is a must with stage I due to the more constant boost pressures,they are not bled off like the stock system. I am going to wait to install my stage I until I receive my Mopar BOV, back ordered

Apparently my exlanation of the BOVs function was incorrect. A DCX engineer says the BOV is nothing more than a cool noise maker and has an excellent explanation of how thw BOV works on the turbo GT. I still feel this is debatable. It is too long to post so here is a link. (http://www.ptcruiserlinks.com/forum/...?TOPIC_ID=3794)
