For best performance use a bov non recirculated, sending the same air thru the turbo again heats it up more than the ambient air and thus a small decrease in performance. The bov also lets the turbo keep spinning no-load in between shifts reducing lag, if there was no bov, the sharp pressure increase when you snap the throttle shut will slow the turbo right down like crazy, or actually stall the wheel and somtimes reverse it momentarily... that is surge
