nice!

what BPV/BOV is that?? (unless that was someone sneezing)

thats a HELL of a sneeze

haha, Its a STI bpv to atmosphere. Plug on the intake side. Iz not bad. You can hear the car choke right before the water. I cant floor it because of the injectors size and no tune. I got to excited and floored it. haha

ooh nice. Yeah matt was running a sti bpv to atmosphere and it ran like...well poop. It did not like it, but it sounded sweet!

my car seems to run fine for all the crap thats on it and no EM... hmmm

well it just idled a little funny, and if I held the pedal at anything but full throttle, as soon as the rpms got to that point, the BPV would leak horribly. Im thinking its just because it was meant to have pressure pushing on both sides depending on if you were boosting or in vac, but since I was running atmosphere, it just leaked like crazy when it had nothing sucking from the intake side. Im gonna mess around with a few diff BOV's and see if I can find one that makes the car run OK and sounds "good"

Did you hookup the vacuum line to the BPV though? Wouldn't it keep it open at idle if so?

You need to have a manifold reference boost/vacuum source connected to the BPV. The BPV should be open at idle. But since most of the air is going past the IAC valve, it really should have no bearing on things at idle.
