Yeah I def plan on leaving it Recirc...I spoke to some tuners and they seemed pretty confident they could tune most of the issues out...just def not worth any issues now...

Thanks for the help.

You can't tune for a venting BOV, so I don't know what those "tuners" were referring to, but make sure you understand. You tune for an intake, not for a VTA BOV.

Your not a n00b, you should know from owning your sti that any and all maf based cars hate VTA BOV's. You would get flamed on NASIOC and it's not any different over here. In case you have never been part of a forum before you should do a search, you can't possibly think you were the first person to ask a BOV question........this has been covered many times

Actually you can Clay. For someone who's had a Super AFC, I would expect him to know the features of it. Maybe you should have read the manual when you bought it.

And I remember that that feature could not be used on the Evo. Or am I just blowing smoke?

Wow, this thread really went off the deep end! Just so everyone knows.....I wasnt trying to offend anyone with my post, just stating my $.02 like everyone else!

I do agree from reading many posts that warrtalon seems a little hostile in his posts.......BUT this is a web forum, and like every other forum people are going to tell you how it is.....but you can't get upset about **** on the net.....just let it roll off ya and keep going!

Yes I do know that MAF based cars dont VTA but I didn't know that Evo were MAF, the one and only evo that I remember had a VTA BOV so I assumed they must be MAP...When I searched I go mixed responses, some saying they've done it with no issues and some being strongly against it.

But nonetheless I got my answer and I appreciate the help.
