gfb bov a/f question

I have my gfb bov installed at a 50/50 split. I know I am running rich because of it as I can smell it a little out of my cat-less turbo back. Just wondering if it is hurting my performance any because I am running so rich or is it damaging to my engine?

a bov can make you run rich? seems like my car is holding boost better and therefore feels and sounds way better.

the gfb is a split design to where half is VTA and half is recirc. thus half the metered air is released and so the fuel is richer than if it were straight recirc.

just don't know if it's doing damage because it's running so rich
