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.

i've had good success with genuine HKS SSQV (watch out there are a lot of copies about that suck), forge and Bailey DV12. Plenty of horror stories about the ebay crap ones though
