controlled by his wife

Greddy type s would be your best bet for a bov, even the mopar plate is louder then the external bov.

Get the Mopar BOV. Just be sure to use some Permatex sealer on the gasket. It's not too loud and if you don't have a heavy foot, you may forget you have it.........!!!

Yeah the Mopar conversion plate only makes a flutter sound I love the BOV sound I can't believe your wife doesn't.....If you still have warranty any BOV except Mopar will void your warranty and they may try void it over the mopar plate. Sorry I know that I always remind of the warranty but dealership tried to void mine over the mopar plate.

...wait a minute...fluttering is bad thing to hear from that area in the turbo world because it means one of two things. One and the worst of the two is compressor surge. Two and usually not a bad thing at lower boost levels, happens because the spring is too heavy for light boosting and lets air out in surges which cause the valve to "flutter". Is this "flutter" different in the SRT-4 community?

You also can get a flutter from installing an intake ~

How? BTW, I'm originally from Va. Beach (woo hoo).
Anyway, please excuse my SRT-4 ignorance, but do they recirculate the air back into the intake on the filter side of the turbo in an SRT-4? If so, then I can see and understand that comment because the recirc tube is usually connected very close to the filter, but if they actually vent to atmosphere as a BOV namesake does (DV, or diverter valve, recircs), then that's not the BOV fluttering but compressor surge or the other symptom. Please don't get me wrong, I'm not at all trying to argue..just merely trying to understand or maybe help.
