You don’t know what vta is, yet almost every bov issue I’ve seen on evom somebody asks is your bov vta? (vent to atmosphere aka big whoosh) I literally just googled hks ssqv issues and came up with tons of threads about throwing CELs on both said forums… if its open at idle the car will run like shit… > [@A secession among us?](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/a-secession-among-us/40554/5): > > I love how people bash on such simple parts, like exhausts.

I saw that and was like WTF is that, some Evoh computer system shit on the car? I didnt even know what it meant. Why not just type vent to atmosphere? > > Any MAF based forced induction car, without being tuned properly for it, HATE when you take a diverter valve thats normally recirculated through the intake and dump it to the atmosphere. The ECU knows how much air to expect coming back into the intake when throttle is lifted and the DV opened. If that air is MIA then it gets rich, pisses off the ecu, could put you in limp mode, etc. it all depends on how the car is tuned. > > The VW motors are like that, ricers put “VTA” bov’s on and the ecu gets pissed, and the car runs like a bag of smashed assholes. > > short story, if the ecu wants it recirculated. dont vent it to atmosphere. put a stiff enough spring in it so its closed at idle and all is well 🙂 i’ve got a TiAL Q 50mm BOV and the maf is still on the car and all is well, partial throttle is a bit finicky… i have the 11psi spring in it fwiw… --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/erngottis-08-evox/255807)._
