Default BOV Necessary

Is a blow off valve necessary? What are pros and cons of having one and not having one?

having one releases the boost pressure when throttle plate closes under boost. not having one, the boost pressure reverses back into the turbo, not good

Having a BOV gets you girls, not having one does not. The answer is clear.

Without a BOV, you get a cool thing called compressor surge, it grants you the ability to purchase new turbos within short periods of time :D
