Still worse than stock. Do you need to be told why or can you figure it out for yourself?

Again, use the search
no ones told me anything in this thread except to search.

you think black smoke will shoot out the exhaust every time the bov opens

It's not going to blow your engine up the second you install it. It's a long term thing. Constantly inducing a very rich condition every time you let your foot off the pedal is going to cause problems over time. There's really not much more to say on that.

On the topic of aftermarket recirculating valves, they're simply not necessary. There is literally nothing for you to gain by installing one, and there are potential problems with them as well. The car is designed to operate with the stock valve, that has a specific spring tension and valve tolerances and pressure ranges. Changing any one of those variables could cause a variance in the system that the ECU and fueling system isn't calibrated to handle or understand. The volumetric pressure within the inlet pipes in combination with the stock BPV is designed to vent excess pressure in a way that adequately maintains some measure of harmony within the cylinders and intake system. And you will likely never be introducing enough boost into the system to ever compromise the stock valve's upper limits.

The reason why people are telling you to use the search function is that this topic has been discussed ad nauseum.

This is absolutely correct, the stock BPV has failed no one as of yet. Period. Don't piss away your money for nothing. Period.

On a side note, maybe just maybe, a replacement BPV might, just might, provide very minimal improvements with a stand alone system. Who's running stand alone, back to the point, no one lol

Anything is possible with a stand-alone lol. Less than 1% of the Civic population is spending $7k+ on one and an accompanying though.
