Because your Rcolt is new and the engine has not fully run in I would not and most long time engine tuners would not recommend any modifications to your engine until it is run in somewhere in the vicinity of 10, to 15,000ks speak to some people in the performance industry about this is my suggestion.

:) Oh and congratulations on getting your new Silver colt I just love mine their were about 30 different cars at a memorial at Rookwood cemetery today and my little Urchin coped all the rev heads and some of the olds attention it even looked better with the black white silver gravestones in the background.

Welcome mate.

You mean an "aftermarket" BOV? I'm pretty sure they'd come with a factory plumb-back BOV already right? Most factory turbo cars do..

Are you aiming to install a BOV purely to get a whoosh noise? I.e. one with a big trumpet so its loud, not a plumb back..

I think there are a lot of potential short-comings and reliability/refinement things you could be sacrificing or stuffing up just for that noise.
