Ok Im not 100% certain but.. Pro's: -madd dose Con's: - objects can get sucked into the compressor wheel and cause massive damage - Defects - i.e. because there is no filter on the end This thread may help: http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.php?t=111492

Hmm again, Im not 100% sure but I don't think it will. It will make more of like a spool-up noise then a just like a big release of pressure.. If you know what I mean.. Not so much the zututu noise like a dose pipe.

But in all seriousness a bov will flutter if it's adjustable, nothing like a so called dose but anyway....

Kind of depends. I'm running a BOV and a short pipe to a long pod filter. ON mine anything under 17psi it's dose's & after 17psi you hear the BOV. BOV - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlp_aNc7xjo DOSE PIPE - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgMD0_PZFYk But doesn't a dose pipe create compressor surge??

A dose pipe does NOT create compressor surge, it just makes it louder.
