Would you guys rather do stock intake with Blow off valve adapter, or CTS open air intake with stock DV (no BOV)..... this is hard for me. I need the noises one way or the other. Would power be better with stock intake? Help a guy make a decisionnn.....
had the stock air box modified with a GFB diverter valve, and while you gain some induction noise it's very minimal and not that aggressive whoosh some people look for.
I put the stock diverter valve back as IMO it functions better with the design of the ecu.
if you want the big turbo noises in our little turbos you need an open intake, or a decent closed system that uses a cone filter. the panel filters are nice, but just don't give you that big sound, if that's what you're after.
never had a blow of valve as I prefer the recirculating so I can't comment there.
