Has anyone installed a Supersonic BOV on their Gen3? I’ve looked in the forum without any success so if this has been asked elsewhere, point me in that direction! Thanks. Curious if it fits just fine on the Gen 3 vs the Gen 2

Unless you are doing a lot of engine work or upgrading the turbo, I'd stay away from BOVs. At best, you get the louder whistle/woosh, which i assume is what you're looking for. At worst, you're looking at degraded performance and a bunch of headaches.

Ok, I’ll give it a go. Hi, I like to attempt to belittle and make people feel dumb for asking questions on a forum behind a keyboard safe from actual harm where I practice “combat ninja” moves…how’d I do?
Well, it's not your first day on the internet, lol. I'm clueless what that part is for, is it for noise?

Thank you. This was a helpful and constructive response. Appreciate the feedback.

I cannot speak directly to the Gen 3 Raptor but in many newer turbocharged vehicles, having an aftermarket blow off valve vent excess charge pressure into the atmosphere vs. back into the air intake system will upset the ECU/MAF and display a CEL. Generally speaking, swapping your factory closed box intake to something with an open filter will result in some extra noise if that's what you're looking for.

I agree, if you just want a little more noise and a whistle sound under throttle maybe an intake system would suffice? I have a Roush on mine and really like that subtle whistle when I give it a little gas. It is never annoying either. I know too many people who have had issues with aftermarket BOV's on off road machines to want to go that route. Even some street only rides I have read issues with. So personally I steer clear.

As for a Gen 3 intake, I know quite a few have already been proven to fit fine on the 2021's so it could be an option for you.
