I was just wondering how would I be able to recirculate it? I would do it if I don't have to buy any new parts or anything, I just love the way this bov sounds.

You said youre not losing any boost, how are you checking it if you dont mind me asking ? That bov looks like its adjustable. Make sure the bov its not leaking and needs to be adjusted. Since you just bought this bov, what did you had before ? Stock ? Did you had this problem before this bov ?

He needs to recirculate that BOV.

This dudes onto it. I had 50mm tial venting to atmosphere and had same issue as had standard ecu and that bov only suited to maf.We changed to 50mm tial recirculate and problem solved. Its a lot quieter as I have cold air box but makes it more of a silent creeper. Used to **** me off so much with old set up as I think it was staying open.

Yea I mean the OEM bov is just too quiet, and I didn't cheap out buying one for 70 bucks. This one costs a good $280. And since it is recirculated, ill just have to wait till the tune. And yea it happened to me while I was goin into a turn on an intersection and ended up going onto the oncoming lane. Thank God there weren't any cars.
