The number of times people commented on my supra video (below) claiming that 'your turbo will be fkd in 1000 miles'... yet I ran no BOV for years, put over tens of thousands of KMs on the setup (probably 30,000 til I sold the car), pushing 510rwhp, with no ill effects... Why? Cos I liked the sound. Everyone's a mechanic on the internetz, but I can assure you I had no problems. Also I never noticed a difference between bov/no bov throttle response.
Personally I dont want a bov on my turbo kit for my 86 cos I like the flutterz
