Ahh, sorry for spamming! I bought a standard MBC from AMS and am having it installed now
If I do purchase a IX bov, would I have to have the car retuned?
Sorry for all the questions

Anyway a MBC is a solid way to go and it super simple to install. Cheap too.

Hahahaha, the AMS tech working on my car came in and asked if I wanted to upgrade to the IX bov Which I did, so let's hope for some good numbers!!
BTW, I have. Boost, Wideband and oil pressure gauges

That information is wrong, if that was true then at peak boost of 19.8lbs stock, I would loose boost. The plastic BOV leaks around 25-26psi. You may not need to upgrade it depending on where they set the boost at, but it would not be a bad idea to just do it, and you will not need a retune just for the bov.
