Don't forget less turbo surge from having a real BOV. The stock diverter valve handles it well but the extra BOV won't hurt. I've been running my Helix BOV for at least 5000 miles and haven't had any issues or CELs.

If you've got the money to spend, get the Exhaust Depot cold side hard pipe with the HKS BOV. I called E.D. once and I think the cold side alone is $190 and the HKS BOV is about $275. The branch coming off other silicone cold side boost tubes to the noise maker will cause some discontinuity in the flow path, which will cause a minor drop in power. I would also buy a boost port adapter from Alta so you don't have to drill into your intake manifold!!!
