I have never seen anybody directly link their BOV to a turbo failure, plus I doubt it could be done. All that I know is that it can be done, that it won't be quite right, and that I would use a BPV. The decision is yours to make.

No release sounds like a bad idea, but I have never looked into that or read anything about it. So I have no definitive answer.

Haven't people had good luck with Bailey's and Forge BOV's? I thought that a few people have gotten BOV's to work well with SVO's, but I'm on 100% sure on that.

I have not heard of a BOV that works well with a stock type setup, but I have not been reading up quite as much as a while ago. So it is very possible, but I don't know. I like the BPV sound anyway
