--rentech Bov valve vs others--
I am looking to possibly adding a bov from rentech, but I didn't know what the difference was from rentech having only one side of the turbo releasing pressure to the bov VS some other set that I've seen have both charge pipes bridging together with a pipe to the BOV.
Thanks in advance

I have the renntech version. It's super clean and looks factory. Some of the others are not so much. It doesn't matter if it's from one side or not. It's dropping pressure in the entire intake tract which is the purpose.

Now is having a bov make you loose boost when pressure releases and cause you to lose power. Meaning taking more time for the turbos to built boost? Not sure If I am explaining this right.

BOV only vents pressure after you let off the accelerator, the throttle plate closes and the excess intake pressure needs to be vented. So you're not losing power in that timeframe - you've willingly reduced power by way of your foot.

Correct. W212 E63's dont drop boost during shifts, 99% of the time anyways.

I have brand new renntech bov kit in the box that I never installed. I failed to remove the charge pipe from the lower coupler. I gave up.
