How exactly was the car running bad?
And I have a feeling he didn't get a tune for VTA.

Little flutter doesn't matter, it's still opening. HKS is a great BOV its what I run too. I had Turbosmart, Greddy, etc. They all suck. Even the factory one flutters your just don't hear it as loud.

Its not a problem with the parts. Any part can perform poorly if it is not installed correctly. That being said, the stock BOV is a good piece.
