I like how the BOV is vented. Whats up with that. The car will run better if you put that back into the intake.
Not only that...but how stock is your car. Its looks like it has been played with a little.

It may run OK but it will be slower than if it was unvented.

The MAS counts the air as it goes in the intake. If you vent your bov the calucations will be all screwed up causing your car to run incorrectly.

My car ran Ok with it vented. But anytime after a hard run it would stall as soon as I let off the throttle. Then I learned that it does not make sense to vent without a vpc, stand alone, or s-afc(but the afc will cause the car to run rich between shifts).
The only advantage you have to venting..its the RICER sound.

But they love to break for no reason Just look at what my car did. https://www.tamparacing.com/forums/s...hreadid=102433

And where can you get a engine cheap? They are not really common to come by.
