Questions for those with BOVs

I'm considering picking a Autowerked BOV kit for a great deal from a fellow member, but had some questions. First off, do you like it? I've read elsewhere that they do nothing for you but the sound. I personally enjoy the sound, since I have two friends with STIs and they have BOVs that sound incredible. My next question is; are they hard to install? I guess what I'm looking for is your overall experience with them. Any info at all will help me with my decision!

Thanks

Everyone that owns a 335i has BOVs It's just not VTA.


I drove my friend's Evo with an intake and HKS SSQV for one day and got tired of it by days end. If you can live with the sound everytime you let off the gas, then you might like it.

From the looks of it, the BOV on the 335i looks relatively easy to install since the BOV itself is welded on to the tube already and you just gotta replace that with the OEM.

YES THEY ARE HORRIBLE AND GHETTO....

Sorry Sorry, Now what was the question? Check out the technical forums, it's likely you'll get a decent amount of responses without the hassle.
