I would recommend it, I dont know your current mods. Either way I would get a BOV or an upgraded DV's. When I broke down the factory chargepipe and dv's I found out how cheap they were to the alternatives. When you do the work yourself you really learn a lot. I dont do it for all of my mods but I do for most of them. I like to make sure what im spending my hard earned $ is worth the money im spending.

This isnt my car but this is exactly the same intake/bov that I am currently running and I love it.

I have downpipes/meth/dci sold my jb3 getting procede and ordered a fmic , then want to get dv's and maybe modify my stock exhaust, I wish they had a good intake for our cars, we have some corny intakes

Yes you should DEFINITELY get either a BOV or DV's with all of those supporting mods. You might already have some boost leak if you were running map 5 or higher with the jb3. I would also modify the exhaust, makes it sound sooo much better and release some unwanted back pressure due to the rear cats and increase flow rates. Its all about freeing up the air on the rear end and getting more air and colder air in on the intake/intercooler side with turbos. I agree on the intakes, I havent found one that really sticks out above the others...good idea on the switch to the procede.

So, you dont need cats anyway...they just slow you down. Most modified exhausts do still retain the mufflers, so no issues there.
