BOV on a Z4?

Haven't seen a Z4 with a BOV. Do you consider it nice or rice?

you can check 3 series forums, it makes sense when you use a tune with high boost, otherwise you will end up losing power with boost pressure loss

I had a choice between the BOV and dual diverters when I upgraded to the Stett Charge Pipe - I went dual diverters in order to avoid the "noise" associated with a BOV.

I've always loved that BOV "noise" from my ex WRX and A41.8T but dont know what it would sound like on a bi-turbo.

I have the ESS set up but have not yet re-installed it (long story and boring). Ess tune is awesome and looking forward to putting it back on after I remove the EZ Top so it will not interfere with programming.
