Aftermarket BOV and wastegate

is it hard to mount a aftermarket BOV and wastegate, and whats involved. And do you guys recomend a recirculating BOV and internal wastegate? Or both that releace into atmosphere. (I dont have to worry about being street legal)

Typically cars that recirculate the air do it because their cars have a MAF, and they'll run rich between shifts if they dump to the atmousphere. The air is metered, so your engine is giving x amount of fuel for x amount of air. When you don't recirculate you are still getting x amount of fuel, but when you shift the air isn't going back in, thus causing you to run rich between shifts.

Mounting is easy. Some kits bolt to your existing piping, some come already with the piping.

As far as the wastegate goes, you'd upgrade to an external wastegate if your internal isn't letting enough "waste" out giving you boost creep. If you are experiencing creep, port what you can and dump to the atmosphere (if you don't mind it being loud). If that doesn't work, I'd recommend an external.
