if you are having a problem with fuel cut but still want the aftermarket sound of a bov. there is a site that i found online called apexr1.com and they have fabricated a bracket and custom made flange to recirculate and it comes with a greddy type rs bov. it is 279.00 shipped and it comes with all the hoses and clamps you need to install it. plus the shipping is FREE. i am ordering mine this weekend and will let you know how it works.
 
I might be wrong, but I thought you could just stick with your normal setup and install a bov(that circulates to air) just before the throttle body? I thought that was what Korey was doing.

Korey is on the stock set-up, only the BPV, he had a dual setup like I am running now, Greddy Type S to atmosphere and stock BPV recircing.

To be honest with you Josh, the RS is a piece of crap, the old Type S was the one that rocked. You can recirc the BOV, but you still might have problems. I am not convinced that your fuel cut is BOV related, it could be, i want to ride with you tomorrow and see a little closer. Even when I tried only the BOV it wouldn't cut from it, same with ^tyrant^, it will stall out if not tuned right but doesn't cut. Fuel cut is usually related to too much air coming in and the ECU can't compensate for the fuel it needs to add so it cuts the system. Do you have a boost gauge hooked up? If so what are you boosting? Do you know if the car has been flashed? When it is colder like this and you go WOT or even 3/4 I guess it is pretty typical to hit cut, but there are ways to train the way you drive around it and still have fun. I was over boosting for awhile and it would cut but I learned how to get around that and drive it. It allowed me to put my nose out in front of a SRT4 with minor mods. Lets take a look at it tomorrow. Just honestly you can do better for your money than the RS.
 
yeah i wouldnt buy that setup from apex i highly doubt that is causing your fuel cut problems. i have run the forge BOV on my car for a little bit and it never caused fuel cut.
