Yes. If you are gonna pull the entire IC out, might as well put a quality oem replacement (at the very least) while you are at it. The OEM IC is absolute garbage.

Which one would you put in?

It pains to me like the sound of this BOV so much :)

Not sure, I have the Full Race - I've never researched OEM replacements just because IMO the FMIC is far superior. With that said, a good bar and plate IC in the stock location will do miles better than OEM.

Well mine showed a day early.. nice looking piece. Seems pretty easy to push up on the plunger. Im hoping when its energized it has more force holding it down.
Im going to attempt to swap it as easy as possible, if i didnt have the damn skid plate it might already be done. I see the factory BOV has a couple screws on it, playing with the idea of unscrewing it to see if in two pieces it’s easier to pull out.
Will report back when I have an update.

Installed today on a 2018 with Cobb FMIC and ADD pro front bumper. It really fits great and opens up oil filter access. I chose to shorten the blocked off stock breather hose. I wish they made a plug that would go straight onto the intake pipe.
Started her up but no driving impressions yet. Seems like a well made solid unit.

I just picked up my TurboSmart BOV EM in Sydney. Looking forward to getting it on the truck. I have a similar setup with the Cobb FMIC. Any tips on getting the valve in there? Did you just cut the breather hose and leave it or did you tie it up somewhere?
