you'll need a semi-plumb back BOV or else you'll have stalling issues.

What's a semi plumb back BOV like

New to the turbo scene?

What's your aim with the BOV?

If you want the sound of a non-plumbback valve, and you have an airflow meter, you'll get black smoke on throttle liftoff.

You are far better off with a full plumbback.

The RS liberty already has a blow off valve that recirculates the air back into the pre turbo intake. Adding a blow off valve does nothing for performance if the factory one is working properly. Some after market valves set too tight actually make boost build slower.

Why do you want to fit this blow off valve?

Yeah I going that way..I tried an atmospheric BOV and got bad hunting and it smelt fuely so I took it off...the car needs a plumb back BOV as the person who owned it before me took the BOV out.
