With both those things installed and then a custom tune, I think it would run well but I wouldn't really get any more power from those parts. Thats why I have both those things listed under the low priority section. If I find them for cheap or local, I'll probably buy them and keep them off my car until I'm ready for a tune.
BOV hold boost (XX psi) until spring pressure gives in & it either vent to outside or back inside into your intake.
In HKS when it makes the sound "pew pew" it flatters & loses performance compared to other bov. FYI.
I think my friend is selling his HKS bov, if you're interested I can/will let him know.
