Yes I did read all the posts saying don't go with a BOV or make sure it is recirculating. I have mods- intake, down/uppipe, catback, porting, e-manage and EBC. Decided to add BOV and shop suggested HKS sequential. Car is now sputtering/stuttering when given a good amt of throttle in 4th,5th,6th gear. Also boost spikes real high in these same gears- but i have no real problems when reving in power band in lower gears. Boost target is currently 16 psi- i know this is not good and is being recalibrated to 15. Is BOV major problem here and should i just return to stock valve or possibly a recirculating BOV. Also' does MAF sense air flow before it gets to the BOV- THANKS

sounds like you need to adjust your ebc. no way would the bov cause boost spikes(tbe,yes. strange if you ported the wastegate though..). if it idles like crap, you just need to adjust it.if you don't feel like messing with it,then just take it off. it'll be real easy to sell on nasioc, prob take you like 2 days. plenty of people want that bov and thos eof us that have it adjusted correctly love it
