Default Blow off Valve

I'm looking to install a BOV on my 04 LSE. I am looking at a kit which comes complete. I was wondering if I have to do anything with the MAF or wastegate?

No you don't have to do anything with the MAF or Wastegate.

B.O.V is pointless...if you want to hear your 12 spooling then just get a different air intake filter or setup..

If he wants a BOV let him get one.

Honestly, I just want something to make it stand out a bit, hense why I got the LSE when I bought the car...it's a bit more rare, and yes,...I'm one of those guys that would pay a couple hundred to install a BOV just for the sound it produces... Thanks guys

FYI, if your automatic the BOV will only go off when you let off the gas. Also you will run ruch for a split second when that BOV goes off.

I knew it would only go off releasing the gas..to get rid of the extra air...but it running rich for a second...that's not a big deal is it?

I was just trying to save the guy the trouble of getting the b.o.v for the sound when he could also look into the est intake or something of that sort...just making him aware...but anyway good luck with everything...
