I did give you useful answers (several, in fact), so I have no idea what that rant was about.

The car isnt mine, and it wasnt my idea to install a VTA, but i sure will fix his mistake, and by the way its a SARD R2D2.

VTA is bad, but so is the HKS RS without a tune.

If the BOV is plastic, then either someone is lying about it being a IX, or someone with an viii stole his IX BOV.

Ok calm down everyone no need to clutter everyones 56k computers up. Just tell your friend to put the stock 1g bov back on and take that piece of crap intake off and just put a drop in filter in it.

ROFL! Are you serious. Anyone who looks at that BOV will agree. The name of it sounds like it is from another galaxy, and looks like it too. I have never seen any serious motor head use this BOV. Take a look at AMS, BR, Turbo Trix, none use that BOV, must be a reason, as it does not yield good performance.
I'd say the BOV is 99% of the problem, and the intake isn't helping with no usefull mods.
