BOV is suitable for all turbo charged cars.

WRX and WRX STi, both are turbo charged cars..

You must install a suitable BOV for the car's turbo.

If i'm not wrong, if a wrong type of BOV is installed for the turbo, it might create some engine issues and might spoil the engine.

all turbocharged vehicles can install a BOV, but not all will necessarily work well with one. a rex is one example of a turbocharged vehicle that will go hay wire with the installation of a BOV. unless the management system is modified to read from an aftermarket air flow sensor, the BOV will screw up the readings from the stock MAP sensor.

Thank God someone knows what he is talking Smile

Yeah, BOV is all sound but no go at times. CEL may be lighted up after that as the MAP Sensors screws up. There will be backfire as it may run rich.

Low end may be affected. I used one in stock condition. Took it out after 3 days.

Mine was irriating to the core until I went to adjust the valve. Nowadays it does not sound much unless on high rev. Laughing
