> [@theblue](#): > > wouldn’t the BOV always be close unless a defined pressure limit is exceeded? Umm thats not what a BOV does… a BOV vents excess pressure when the throttle plate closes… so it should be BAERLY open at idle…(vacuum) and it will close under boost… then when you get off throttle and go back to vacuum, the differance in pressure inside the manifold + vacuum causes teh piston to open and vent the air… ---

not speed density, it’s called alpha n, basically no maf or no map, just air temp vs rpm for duelling since it’s a sc… Everybody loves it, it’s how the csl is run ---

I understand the difference between a wastegate and a BOV… I just thought that all BOVs were 100% closed until the throttlebody(s) closed and the spring pressure was exceeded in the BOV. I guess I was wrong. ---

on a supercharged car the bov stays open at idle because the supercharger is creating boost. it acts as a wastegate. ---

yes. i should go 1 step colder, but im below, most guys run stock on the non meth kits… I just went out and bought new stock plugs and put em back in and let the car run on them then took them back out, and 2 of the plugs show NO wear and NO evidence that they were running, so it looks like im down at least 2 coils, which would explain why the car sounds like a subaru… and my garage smells like unburnt gas after i let it idle… i am going to replace all 6 coils anyways, the car has 100k on it, and these coils are known to be bad… ---

Id just hope it isnt ECU related or anything like that. ---
