Default whats the best BOV

i bought my 04 srt last christmas. it had been in a wreck and a racing shop had repaired it ( kind of). it has a aftermarket hood on it because the other was totalled. paint on front doesnt match. i had to replace all tires and some other things not bad for 10 grand only 10000 miles. it has a mopar blow of valve stage 1 kit, mopar short shift and some kind of no name cold air intake. ok to the point. i ordered a turbo xs standard boost controller, an AGP wastegate actuator, an oil catch can, and an AEM short ram intake. oh yeah and some 8.5mm sparkplug wires. im not looking to go crazy with this car but i like the power potential. the mopar BOV sounds pretty good but i hear they end up leaking. my question is should i upgrade the BOV or just leave it.

A bit of gasket sealer on one side of the BOV gasket will work wonders.......

Keep the mopar bov. Its so aggressive alo tof people say it leaks I say if you install it correctly and make sure both surfaces between included the gasket from the play is clean and you should be straight

agressive??lol....you should hear my rfl or hks...truth is mopar wont leak under stock boost...try holding 20 psi and you'll understand why many toss them away.If you're serious abot modding dont go cheap....if you just want to chill and cruise around and maybe kick sum butt from time to time then keep the mopar

my buddy has a 05 and he is pushing 350 to the wheels and has the Mopar BOV/Reliefe plate cause that wat it essentially is is a relief plate rather than a BOV....and his doesn't leak and he has his Holding at 21PSI on High Boost! so if installed correctly it should not leak!
