OK:

Pros:
- adjustability...various springs (differing in strength) are included in case you decide to modify more later on
- won't leak...the stock piece might (stress MIGHT...you won't know for sure until you log it or something
- resale value if you decide to sell it. You can usually sell these pretty quick, and for pretty close to purchase price
- looks better than the stock plastic piece
- different sound than the stock piece
- metal construction might be more robust than the stock plastic piece

Cons:
- might not do anything for you if your stock unit is not leaking and you are running stock boost levels.
- if a Mazda dealer saw it and identified it as aftermarket, they might void your warranty

ok so just to clear everything up...the car is under my dad's name...i DO work however and pay for mods and stuff like that...

I dont think you realize their point. Point is that if your dad is paying for it you should stick to the rules. You dont get a loaned car from a cousin and modify it do you? I know its a little different but its the same point. When I was 16 my parents got me a Civic. Within the 1st week I was tired of everyone beating me in the little piece of s***. I gathered a couple thousand dollars and when I asked my dad if he could give me a ride to work for a week because I was going to swap an engine on it he laughed so hard I almost cried. Instead I turned around, got a steady job and as soon as I hit 18 I went and put the money as a Down and got my car under MY name and made my payments. I can modify it is as I wish. Hell Im almost 21 now I cannot get myself a motorcycle because my parents told me they do not want to see a motorcycle in their house...So you see we are in the same boat almost...your fighting for a BPV and im fighting for my motorcycle...As for the BPV dont get it as your first mod, if your going to get introuble for getting it already might as well get a CAI..much better turbo spool noise and powarrr!

i think you should check around for dealers that are cool with mods. start a thread on here about how your looking for mod friendly dealerships in or around your city, state, etc. then you dont have to worry so much about getting your warranty voided just for a few minor mods when just for going in and getting an oil change or whatever kinda service. if you get a CEL, just simply remove your mods and take it in. ive heard of dealerships that will even suggest that to people who have mods.
and as far as your dad, i say you stick it to the old man and just go ahead with your modding. gotta step up to pops sooner or later and let him know your a grown ass man. just crank some Twisted Sister on your stereo("we're not gonna take it") and your good to go!
