save it for yourself, I know you are going to say

my friend and I were talking about bov's

he has a 1999 civic si b16a n/a cai headers all the way back, flywheel, stage 2 clutch, short shifter, msd, boost pack, plug wires, and more.
anyways he thinks if he cuts a hole in his intake pipe and installs a bov and run the line to a vaccum the bov will work normal when he shifts.

I told him no bullshat it wont work

any truth behind this?

Since there isn't positive pressure built up in the pipe when the throttle closes during a shift, the BOV will have nothing to blow off.

Yeah but he would have to install a turbo or supercharger with it.

Hmm, that sounds like fun, I might have to pick one up. Make a BOV sound both when i let off the gas and when I floor it.
