About what? The ONLY purpose of a BOV that I have ever heard of, untill this thread, is to protect the turbo from comperssor surge. How would a BOV possibly improve engine response? All it does is blow off excess pressure in the intake piping when the throttle is closed suddenly. The turbo has to build boost all over again when the throttle is re-opened. I would actually think that no BOV would improve response because there would still be a small amount of residual pressure in the intake piping when the throttle was re-opened.
