Yeah they'll leave you a note saying you can get it dropped out without signature or pick it up there whatever you want to do...I got reallllllly fucking lucky and got off work early enough today that as I was heading to the post office to figure things out...I ran into the mail guy still dropping off in my neighborhood!(like 4 hours later) so I got my BOV :)
I got lucky too, it was in the mailbox when the tracking said someone signed for it. The mailman is probably used to it by now with all the packages I get in the mail :D

Just be careful with the bolts I lost two hahaha, good thing I have a hardware store nearby. Just for piece of mind get a few extra bolts just in case, it's a tight spot.

It's probably stuck in the bottom panel, hopefully I'll find it along with one of the socket. It wasn't from installing the boomba bov, it was the fake hks eBay one.

Ok here is a video of me driving after the install. Some nice commentary from the 5 year old as well. This is a CVT, and the sound is very audible. I do notice that if I let the CVT "shift" you dont hear it as much but when you let off the gas its definitely noticeable.

I drove around today on my CVT and I could hear it and it was awesome as hell. On my left I could hear my turbo spool and on my right I could hear the BOV I'm loving it. Definitely a good purchase, the way it works with the CVT is you hear it everytime you let off the gas so if you want to get a good sound slam the gas for 2 seconds (cus that's basically all it takes to get to 35mph) and let off work a nice intake growl, turbo spool, and Pshhhhh. :headbang:

The sound is fantastic. Great pitch, no whistle, very TIAL like and I love that.

Anybody with a real boost gauge monitoring vac during idle before and after installing this BOV?
