Default Bov, Dump Valve etc help

Ive read so may different threads on replacing the standard bov and so confused now I really dont know what to believe?

Should it be changed or kept standard?
Does it need to be changed on being remapped?
Which is the correct/peferred one if so?

standard one will do the job unless your setup is extreme - if you want a bit more noise you can switch it out for a quality aftermarket one. Note the "quality" bit there - a 10.99 one off ebay will give you terrible running problems but a genuine good quality unit will work just fine.

Default bov

if you have any doubt about the standard bov leaking -blank off the outlet hose-
if boost increases replace it
