I dont know, but that is what I've heard and read. But I have not understood why they are illegal.

Re: (skipbarber)
I am pretty sure its because you are releasing the potentially polluted air into the atmosphere. Most stock turbo cars have some sort of BOV that recirculates instead of releasing into the air immediately.

That has more to do with noise and air/fuel issues with mass air setups than it does with emissions.
I don't see how a BOV could vent any harmful emissions to the atmosphere...It's just compressed air. Maybe if the seal in the compressor is shot and leaking oil into the intake.

That is what I mostly heard, and here in Maryland I dont hear to many BOV's , but I hear alot of them when I go other places.
So if it puts polluted air into the atmosphere would you have to take your BOV off when you go for an emission test?
