What kind of BOV do U use w/cams?

I used have the greddy type s with the spring mod and 272s. The car had mad idle issues. So I put the smaller spring back in and the idle was fixed. Now the only thing is the car stumbles/stalls when in stop and go traffic But my idle is fixed
Vote to which BOV you use and if you have any problems with it. People with upgraded cams only please

Is this after getting the car tuned for the cams? I know you can get a lopey idle with cams, but ecu tuning has generally proven to minimize that.

that is the cause. Put the other spring in for a test I bet your idle will not be so sparatic.... just loppy

I have the GFB (FX-valve) B-DOV from LLtek which recirculates and vents in the atmosphere as well. I've seen other EVO owners adjust their Divertor slash blow off valve if that's what they have to recirculate more so your car doesn't die at idle when your running HKS 272's or 264's. Also it helps when your spooling as well, and that's what Audi's and VW's use. Boost doesn't drop as quick and it extends the life of the turbo as well, but I'm sure all you guys new all of this.

^^ the greddy can be run in full recirc mode so i dont think that is the problem...unless these guys are venting to atmos which i doubt

i will be getting cams sometime in the near future...and am currently running the typeS...i would like to see if anyone has a solution for this problem or if i should just go ahead and start looking for another dv/bov
