My car runs flawless with my vented bov. No idle issues. No driving issues. And my car is self tuned. My dsm ran perfect as well. Vented bov, twin disk and stock maf

To the OP i think you have some other issues going on there.

a little off topic: what happens to the stock boost gauge if you run 25psi?

You bought the car with no BOV? Also your problem is the blow off valve and it is because it is not vented back into the car. Although some people may have better luck running one that is atmospheric doesnt mean yours will.

I have the ssqv on mine and i have been having problems with it. Yesturday i was on the high way and i was in boost about 24 psi and it seems like it was sticking open. I took it apart today after i pushed it in and it stuck open. I was wondering, i am about to get the ems and vent it to the atmosphere. Will this fix the problems im having with it recirculated? Or was the HKS SSQV just a bad idea off the shelf?
