BOV vented to atmosphere....
How can you do this without loosing any performance or damaging anything? I know there is a right way of doing this but when my intercooler line was loose it was making a very nice psshh sound....i just want the same thing in the safe and correct version!

The proper way is run a stand alone EMS and use a aftermarket BOV.
The next wrong way but wont realy harm anything is just run a aftermarket BOV and vent it.

The home depot way to vent your stock BOV to atmosphere is to run a one-way check valve in line with the bov, so it only vents pressure. This was a pretty popular mod back in the day (god only knows why),. Some people reported that with this mod, thier BOV sounded like a locomotive on crack. Of course Iceblue knew this, because he has been a rotary god for about 10 years, but he neglected to tell you.

i jnust picked up a FD BOV and a one way valve from kevin along with a AFM adaptor for TID
Five dolla make ya holla!
Kevin had 3 nails/screws in the one way valve because he said the thing inside would flutter around too much and create a vacuum leak.

Yes, please elaborate. I have a BOV open vent right now, I'd like to know if this is somehow hurting the performance of my car. Up until now, I had never heard anything like that happening, unless maybe on some newer turbocharged vehicles (emissions related issues, going into limp mode, etc.)

But my original beef with that statement was that he basically said you can't run an open vented BOV without a standalone at all....Obviously not even remotely close to true.
