Damn, I've had my new car a month and only added wheel spacers haha. Looks good and sounds better! I would love a BoV on the Saab but there's no benefit in it for me =(
lol jeez... let the damn engine break in before you start hopping it up!
very cool car. much better than the G6. although i think you could have handled a turbo kit for the V6 engine instead.
Anything worth doing is worth over doing.
just like a highschool kid... bought a car with a turbo, must rush out to get a loud BOV. haha wow.
On the other hand....you have other fingers.

Looking pretty good thus far. I'm the same way though. I drove my car off the car lot and straight over to have my exhaust put on. Had an intake on within the first week of owning it.

sorry but i agree. exhaust maybe. i also agree to because of all the ricer comments he like to let loose. glw the car.

Having a bov on an auto is more for looks and sound when letting off the gas at the moment. Same applies for a manual as well though. Only time this mod is needed is when the stock bpv begins to fail at higher psi. Which not too many will reach with the stock turbo anyhow.
So all in all, bov is for sound and looks for most of the people.
Also since i do have the 5 AT it only blows off a couple times since it holds boost through my gears, unlike the 6 spd

I wouldn't say thats 100% true. With a SSQV BOV you get the best of both worlds. The SSQV is a 3 chamber pull type BOV. The SSQV releases excess boost when there is a pressure alteration in chambers "A & B", not by the rate of boost pressure or vacuum in the line. This ensures a quick valve response and complete closure during idle. standard BOV's use a push-type blow-off valve design with a large valve to accommodate high boost / high horsepower applications. These large valves react slowly and require high pressure to open, and are not able to activate and prevent compressor surge at light-load conditions. On the other hand, smaller, fast reacting push-type valves do not discharge the airflow capacity required for high horsepower applications and tend to slowly open and leak as boost pressure overpowers the spring. For maximum performance, the HKS SSQV incorporates both a small primary valve for ultra quick activation, and a larger secondary valve for additional discharge capacity. The SSQV is engineered to initially open the small primary valve at light throttle and load conditions then sequentially opens the secondary valve for additional relief capacity under high boost and load conditions.
So you may have done it for looks and sound, but you are gaining a lot from it even with a stock turbo.
