From personally experience with the 2g bov it is a piece of junk. Like said before it can only hold up to 12 psi if that. The engineering went way down for the BOV on the 2g. Now about the T too small. You can run xxpsi with it but the fact is it wont be effiencent above 13-14 psi. Once you raise it above the stock pressure it does nothing but blow hot air and basically poop out after 4.5K. I know for a fact my T25 set at 15psi would fall to 10 psi at about 5K in any gear but 5th. Definatly first mod for a 2g is a different turbo, intercooler piping, and BOV.

I'd say there are more important things to upgrade before those.

What are the more important things to upgrade then? If your bov cant hold more then 12 psi what is more important? I would think BOV and hard intercooler piping would go hand in hand. How are you going to make power with the T25. I guess I know nothing because BOV, piping and turbo were among some of my first upgrades along with an exhaust and filter.
