There is no use in fitting an aftermarket plumb back BOV.
Keep your stocker, it will work better and will do exactly the same thing. Vented BOV could possibly make your car run like poo if you're on the stock ECU. |

Hmmmm ok then, but it wont hurt the engine in anyway, is it ok to run an aftermarket plumb back, and what would i use to plumb up the standard bov return pipes ? just a rubber stopper

Yes its fine to run an aftermarket plumb back, but it'll be an unnecessary expense...your stock BOV is plumb back and it works fine!!!!!!!
You can't block the return pipe, you'll need it for the plumb back |

I definitely would not recommend a BOV that fully vents to atmosphere with the stock GC8 ECU - you'll unbalance the air fuel ratio and create backfiring and possibly other problems further down the line. Many people still run full atmo BOVs on stock ECUs. Maybe it depends on the BOV and other factors but from personal experience - only causes problems (backfire, engine lost smoothness, poor fuel economy) If you want the sound - get a hybrid BOV that vents to atmosphere and back to the intake so it won't upset the air fuel ratio. (as much) Example of GFB Hybrid BOVs |

if you want that homo noise buy a hybrid BOV as MY99 recommended where it vents to both (Intake/Atmo)
You can buy an adjustable one which gives you the option of controlling how much of the pressure you would like vented to atmo. If you are not going to invest in a hybrid spend your money else where! |
