I assume that he means VTA. RTA might be return to atmosphere. Either way, venting excess pressure is a bad idea. It plays head games with the ECU.

These cars do not like venting to atmosphere. If you are looking for a louder BOV noise try getting into a 50/50 valve. Half will be recirculated and the other half will be returned to atmosphere

Agency-Power makes a great valve where you can run a 50/50 set up. I cant guarantee a problem free set up, but its a happy medium.

i have never had the stalling problems some people say they have with vta's but i do notice on my wideband just cruising it will be around 14 and when i shift it will go down to about 10.8
but it could be worse since my car is untuned, so once i get her tuned ill see what happens
