These were my thoughts. I read the Cobb BPV experiences the least amount of fluttering/issues. I really don't want to deal with any of that; from the looks of it you're basically having no issues.

Indeed! Well worth it on an aftermarket turbo setup and high boost!
This is my car, swapping from a very crushed stock BOV to the Cobb (my wife surprised me with this for my b-day, she wins!):
No other changes. Again not essential but one of 'the little things' that make a good combo great!

I gave the car an absolute thrashing today and...
...what a fantastic turbo! The turbo and car took every mile in stride; I can't even count how many times I wound it out past 7k RPM through the gears! I honestly have zero bad to say about this entire setup, mile after mile the car just took it, even the stock clutch and stock brakes (>30k miles on them) did nothing but get grabbier the more heat I put in them. I did get the service brakes warning light a few times during hard corners/acceleration, but that's because the fluid level has dropped as the pads have worn.

Was this done on the track, or were you just letting her rip on the streets?
Glad to hear your stock clutch is still holding up, I would really hope to atleast get 10k miles or more out of it on this setup

After rocking the ef2 for about 2 weeks, it really is amazing. The cams and ef2 combo is brutal after 3k range. Turbo wants to go more even when you are at 7k and with cams i can hit 8200 with ease but dont go that far, except twice.
EF2 has made my top 3 BEST BUYs for sure. Eibach pro kit, whiteline F and R sways and EF2.

Agreed! perfect for the track as well, I love it when a Lambo guy or Corvette guy comes up to me a says. " what the hell is done to that little car!!" I dont say anything about the EF2, I just tell them aftermarket exhaust. LOL
