Nope, not in the least bit awesome I can assure you. I have many logs from other cars showing similar large off-throttle spikes like this. The bpv just does not react fast enough unfortunately. It's bad enough to where it can actually cause damage to the turbo itself. Here are a couple screen shots. The first one is with just the bpv and the second one is the bpv and bov together. Notice the circled large spike and turbulence/flutter over the maf as well. Not cool. After I installed the bov it miraculously disappears.

I didn't so much notice it between shifts as much as I did at the very end of a pull. I just pulled up a log David had sent me from your car a little while back. You are indeed getting a spike as well in this log.

Wowzers. Very interesting. Wonder if there is anything else that can be done about it.

Not that I found unfortunately. I tried tuning it out via the surge limit tables, but to no avail. It's a mechanical issue so I don't think it can really be tuned out regardless.

Oh nice! This was Friday night when they clinched the division. Good time good times!

I wish I had known that you were a Sox fan. I actually had an extra ticket and I might have invited you to come along if I had known. :/

It's the connections going to the cars computer. Undo them, clean out both sides with some electrical cleaner, let fully dry, re-seat the connectors and hopefully that solves the problem.
