BOV vented Atmosphere or recirculated

i have a 98 gst with 116000 original miles and the only mod on the car is a intercooler, i wanted to know you thoughts on how to run my bov cause right now its recirculated into a aftermarket k&n filter. i heard that if you run it into atomshpere it will make your car run rich, are there any other bad effects

Re-circ.

Yes, fouling plugs decreased performance especially between shifts, running rich.

Agreed. Dont vent your BOV unless you have the right setup for it. You can run an aftermarket BOV and that will make the sound much louder even recirculated. Also a metal intake pipe will help amplify the sound.
