Are there any negatives to installing a blow off valve?? I want to have one installed on my 25 when I get it.

No negatives…they’re just kinda fun to have. They’re not really that loud…with your windows up you won’t even hear it during normal driving.

You might not even have a BOV on the new 2025. Would have to get an aftermarket intake like FenFab to accommodate an aftermarket BOV.

Thanks for your response, I appreciate it. I’ve been looking on the Lethal Performance website at the Turbosmart BOV Dual Port VR13. Do you know about this product? I wanted to know if it’s a good choice for $275? Also, is it an easy install?

Oh wow, ok thank you. I guess I’ll have to revisit this when I get the ST.

You can’t use that. Your best option is to look at www.fenfabrication.com and order what you want. Your car won’t have the provision for w TS Dual Port.

If you are tuned before you have the BOV do you need a re tune?

It doesn’t change anything that the engine would need to know about. So no.
