Default Whats the point of a HKS SSQV BOV Return Kit?

This thing is designed to route the gases from the charge pipe back into the air intake (before turbo). Would there be any positive affect of getting this besides maybe a decrease in BOV whistle/sound?

And on cars using a draw-thru maf (with the BOV downstream of the MAF) you would be dumping metered air through the BOV which can give you a slightly rich condition.

Also some argue for faster spool between shifts. I do not know if I totally agree with that one however.

for people who want a sleeper. I am personally sick of hearing a blow off valve but not willing to spend money to re-route it. I would rather just hear the turbo spool without the funny little sneeze sound.

Do you think this will totally mute the BOV or will it just deaten the sound a bit?

You can still hear it. It barely quiets it down.
