What advantage does it give on a 3ltr car if any. Is it worth fitting one, or does it make you sound like a chav.

I fitted one on my M400, and there was a marked difference at high RPM gear change in top 4th, 5th and 6th.
I guess the in the taller gears the turbo spool time/lag is just a little more apparent when you are on the gas.
The added bonus is of course you are relieving the turbo of some stress as it isn't getting shocked as much when you slam the throttle shut.
Oh and yes it is very chav but you don't have to have a noisey BOV I mean some have trumpets to try and amplify the sound rolleyes you could always route the discharge back through the induction circuit as per porsche etc.
