If you don't have a turbo, then it doesn't matter how you hook up your BOV. You could put it in the glovebox or throw it in the back seat & it would work about the same.

These are rediculous... Our car club sposer, gave us these when they first came out... They sound just as the title says, a whistler.. There is no bov sound at all just a ssssssss sound when throttle is applied... Definatly a fail on their part, because in no way shape or form do these sound like a turbo... Ended up just giving mine to a neighbor kid to put on his tauras...Lol...
There was a kid in my hometown with an rsx that had a bov hooked up without a turbo... Everyone thought it was turbo'd, but months later after no hood popping we talked him into showing us... The person he bought the car from had modified it on there, and told him the car was turbocharged when they sold it to him..

I sure do... Of course i also had the rich friends who were able to purchase one, with no results... I never really understood why they came out with these, and are still selling several different models... How long does everyone think it will be till they make one that works???

Electrically-driven superchargers are probably coming, and they should be OK. But it aint gonna come from some clown-outfit for $100 or less. It'll be incorporated into the engine design, along with a 48v alternator with enough current-capacity to drive it. And all the other tricks (lower CR & better EM) that go with factory boost.
