Default BOV or Not

I have a wrx and was thinkin of buying a BOV for it, sounds really good with out a BOV or standard valve present. Was wondering if it makes a difference without any kind of valve. I want to get as much BHP as possible.
Hope to see good replys as usual
Thanks

Your car HAS a dumpvalve, recirculating type, as specced by Subaru. There is no need to change it, nor will you see any extra power by fitting a VTA valve.

Save your money and put it towrds something worthwhile
