Is a Forge atmospheric BOV spacer compatible with a CTS BOV?

Blow off valve question

This is Ryans face
Not sure if...
these are awful for both aesthetics and functionality. it sounds like a bus with air ride coming to a stop and actually dumps useable boost pressure out instead of recirculating it for functionality. You will see your performance drop in other words. I would avoid this setup.

OP I'm assuming you mean a CTS diverter valve paired with the forge BOV spacer, as 2 BOVs stacked wouldn't make much sense.. I suspect the answer would be Yes might work, but couldn't confirm without trying. The CTS diverter valve "SHOULD" have the same basic functions and fitment as the stock one. so in theory it should mate up to a spacer in the same way.. Id say worse case you get the spacer and it doesn't an you just return it..
On a side note, BOV's get a lot of hate.. An yes there is some truth to the whole "it loosing metered air" "its going to run rich" .. That being said... I've been in the game a long time. I'm not a R&D specialist from some performance shop, or an engineer and I don't pretend to be one. I try not to just Parrot what other people say.. I've had a number of turbo cars, an almost every time the same ol argument is fought to the death about BOV's an how crappy they are bla bla bla.. I've run a BOV at some point on every single one of them without any notable issue. That is my personal experience over a number of cars over the course of 20 years of wrenching on my own vehicles.. Yes its is purely for sound an some people don't like it so they feel the need to crap on others.. Guess what I don't like a lot of things people do to their cars either.. Crackle tunes, Shitty stance setups, rolling coal to name just a few... So I end with this... "What kind of gum? FUGGUM"..
