alright, i have a rubber recirc tube that routes the bov to the intake. i took it off once and blocked the intake, pretty much creamed my pants every time it sneezed but i put it back on because i was afraid it would be unsafe without a retune. question is would i be ok with the hose off for a few months until i get retuned again in the fall? wondering if that extra burst of air after the maf is throwing the trims off a bit

 

pics of what you are refering to?

 

is it ok to take off the hose and plug off the intake without a tune?

 

I would guess....that would throw a code and the car operations would be altered eventually cause you are letting metered air out into the atmosphere...

edit: Oh wait i saw you blocked the intake...duh..um well then...not sure =S

 

I run an atmostpheric BOV and have no issues, all it does is spike rich for a quick second after you let off. Your fine. But be sure to capped that hole on the intake.

 

I would not run with it off since you were tuned and adjusted with it on. It will throw off the trims on decel and may cause a MAF code with limp mode.

 

Recirc>VTA

 

i just like the sound of the vta better, does the recirc spool the turbo faster after shifts?

 

Not sure on that, but I dont think so. You just run a little rich betwen shifts.

 

You won't notice a difference other then it may start throwing maf codes and triggering a limp mode from it. If you want to leave it VTA, move the MAF to the cold side pipe and get retuned is my .02.

 

oh i havent even taken it off yet after reading what u said the first time. cold side is from the intercooler to the intake manifold correct? i have all charge pipes aftermarket besides that one and i was planning on getting one soon. does anybody make one with a maf mount already?

 

Yes, zzps lower cp has comes with a maf relocate mount.

 

That's the picture of my old car!!!

 

alright thanks seeyaass and hbss/tc it sure is, thanks for the shot.

 

No prob bud.

 

I was kind of wondering the same thing except it takes me to be damn near under full boost for mine to blow off. When normal driving i get what sounds like surge between shifts. I am tuned for it and it used to blow off like normal. I am lost. Dont mean to thread jack!
