Stalls it all the way out?

I have the MR Bov, and every once in a while, the rpm's will drop slightly, but I've never had it stall out completely.

Does it vent to the atmosphere? If so, do you have washers so that you can change spring tension? If so, try that.

Not saying you did this but are you sure the got it installed the right way. I have seen many owners with it backwords.

Perrin MBC @ 20 PSI, Buschur filter, thru-the-mail Dynoflash, and a Perrin cat-back. Pretty close to stock really.

the car goes either real close to stalling or actually does stall. Only happens when going uphill then coming to a stop. Or when im in a parking lot going forward to reverse forward to reverse. I have turbo back exhaust, dynoflash, MBC, AEM intake.
I put my stock back in and it doesn't stall but gets close sometimes.

The only time I get a stutter (MR valve in) is with the A/C on, coming to a stop. The rest of the time it's fine.

I have the MR valve and have the same issues whether the AC is on or off. It happens when you are taking off from a stop and step on the clutch real quick. I guess the stiffer spring of the MR valve either needs more vacuum to make it open, or the ECU needs to be slightly retuned.
