I think the legal side of things is more, keeping it a Closed System, and Noise Polution.

And emissions? Surely that's an extreme difficulty in making it legal.

Maybe someone can confirm.

So is this one a plumb back?

"Compatible to Turbo & N/A Cars"... lol

And no I don't think so. It will say it in the description if it is.

Can you point me in the direction of the legal type?

mate, its not so much what bov "Type" is illegal and what isnt its how they are "installed" is what determines the legality of them.

Venting the compressed air strait to atmosphere - Illegal
Plumbing the compressed air back into your intake ( just after your air filter before your turbo) via a seal tube / pipe - Legal (this is how most if not all factory turbo cars are setup)


ps. lol good old ebay... a bov to suit n/a!

thats allright mate, do you want this part as a purely functional accessorie to your setup? or do you want it for a bit of fun to ? make a cool noise? (although illegal)

Cool

functional and legal :thumbsup:

But I like the cool noise but I'll take functional and legal over cool any day..

Shame though I was looking forward to that shzzzzzzzzzz sound :(

u can still hear the noise, but its not as loud as a atmospheric one, sounds more like induction noise, but its pretty good neway.

Run no blow off valve for the best sound and completely legal! Bring on the evidence of no blow off valve causing turbo damage...
