I got my bov on but now the car won't idle right all the time, sometimes (more when its cold) it does fine but sometimes its like its starving for air and wants to stall. It hasnt ever stalled out though. I know I know i should have got a dv and not a bov. Also i keep going into soft limp for some reason, at least i guess thats what it is, ill be running full boost one minute then hardly any the next time i get on it but if i turn the car off and back on its back to full boost. Im confused as hell and kinda irratated and tired of messing with it. I have a greddy type rs w/ anti stall valve that works great but my greddy type s doesnt work worth a **** and thats what i got on there now. I can always go back to my rs but would really like to keep the type s if at all possible. Can a unitune adjust for a vta bov because im going to get that done first of next week?

 

^ same symptoms as my Forge 004 or pretty much a vac. leak

my assumption is that the valve is not FULLY closed at idle

 

damnit that pretty much means no type s then right? guess ill go back to the rs. oh well

 

That sounds right what clipse said. Just start the car and stick your hand in front of it and you will feel air blow out if its not closed

 

That sux. I just got my forge 004 in last nite i haven't had any problems so far but i haven't been able to get on my car just got a new head in and valves and all that stuff so the shop told me not to go passed 3500 rpm for at least 800 miles. the only thin is i got a CEL p1136. i though that was MAF anyone know???

 

i got that same cel today that sucks too. im gonna try to clean my maf really good and get a plumbing fitting and put my rs anti stall valve on my type s. Yea its kinda rigged up but hey if it works it works. If all else fails ill just put the type rs back on even though ill really miss the type s

 

i dont know why you guys mess with the BOVs car is meant for DVs the APR R1 valve is very strong and can handle upwards of 35psi lifetime warranty too

 

but bovs are fun! haha... my hks never gives me a problem, though i do have a cell for the n249 and not sure if that can be related or not
