Default Bloww off valve issues on MY05

Just wondering if there any issues with BOVs on the MY05 (fully atmospheric) other than those experienced on the MY99? I had one on my old one and am thinking of putting this on the new one also.

Also can you get an adaptor for the MY99 version to fit to the MY05?

Cheers

Dont bother if you want performance or fuel economy...an external vent BOV will just make the car slower, and thirstier.

no should be ok to get one with a ecutek if tuned properly but really dont bother unless your stock one is not performing or giving you problems
