[QUOTE=wickdaddy;3655189]when i first got the car, i did have problems when i would blow it off and then not hit the gas, i would stall out bc of being too rich, but now, since i had my SAFC tuned a bit more, i don't fall into that problem as often, but occasionally it happens.


your stalling because your blowing off metered air. you need a return from the blow off back to the intake. just thought i would put that our there.

it is the tube running along the intake from the blow off back.
apologies for being off-topic.

yes, I know that technically it should be recirculated to read properly with the MAF, but I am not really pulling 450whp, so for now, I'm going to enjoy the loud VTA BOV I will soon be tuning with openECU and will not have to worry about my SAFC anymore!

Thanks for the thread, embarrassingly enough, I do not know how to do much with cars, not even change my oil lol. I do want to learn more, that is why I joined this forum. I think I may try this weekend, a jack is not enough, you need jack stands in case of jack failure?
