Vents into the atmosphere right? If so then that is your problem.

Hey I have the same BOV and it sounds like you have the valve open all the way, that causes your car to want to stall. Close it about half way, and if it sounds like a turkey go to www.gofastbits.com and they have videos that show you how to adjust the spring.

majority of people have 50/50 on the gfb and no problems. ive set mines to 60/40 cuz i guess my car is sensitive. so far no problem whatsoever. like everyone else said, must be that your venting it 100%, that will cause u to stall.

is the spring tensioner cap pointing up or toward your rad ? Sounds like you have it installed backwards and are venting too much to atmosphere.

cap should point toward your rad, not the rad hose

only 2 ways to install it, hehe, try the other way.

no, the cap should point toward your rad fan, and the trumpet should fit right under your cold air dam for the factory air box, if you are still stock
