Hmm,
I was always under the impression that the aftermarket BOVs that vent to the atmosphere actually increase spool. Is this not the case?
I was decideing to upgrade to a Tial BOV but if this is going to increase lag i will just get the updated Lindsey one.
So which is better for spool:
Stock or aftermarket ones( that vent to the atmoshpere)?
Thanks

This is my take on the whole BOV/Diverter thing...
With a Blow off, it vents the pressure to the atm. You lose all of the pressure you built up prior to shifting.
Now, with a diverter it rerouts the air to the intake, reducing spoolup times.
I have also heard that when running high boost it is best to run a BOV instead of a diverter, something about screwing up the turbo or something, not sure.

HKS SSQBV
^^ ROCKS
This BOV can be recurculated, sounds amazing, and is a pull style valve, So no leaking boost when you are boosting HIGH. One of the best aftermarket ones. They also sell a racing version for those who boost the hell out of there car.
