What do you mean the same side? I know you can't recirc into the charge pipe cause that defeats the purpose so you mean move the bpv before the maf?

And the idle was fine before I hooked up the bpv so I doubt its the egr.
 
can you move the maf to intake filter and see if it changes anything? the hks is still venting so there might still be stalling issues, but its worth a try

the plumbing from the charge pipe needs to be on the same side of the MAF as the inlet on the intake..

essentially, the BPV either needs to be BEFORE the MAF on the charge pipe, or the MAF needs to be on the intake in front of where the BPV dumps into the intake. if it is between them, you are double-metering air. I suppose if you had both the BPV and the BOV between the TB and the MAF then this would average out to about a wash... but... still not the best IMO
 
Why did you remove VICS? I thought this was very beneficial @ low speeds. VTCS is the one the restricts top end...
 
I get you, so I don't want to release air that has already been read by the maf and put it behind the maf to be read again, I want to either release air that hasn't been read yet, and recirc before the maf, or I was the release air that has been read by the maf but recirc after the maf. Since I'm not following this rule, this is why shes stumbling. So I need to patch up the nipple I made, and make another one before the maf. ****, I wish I knew a welder so I wouldn't have to pay for this s*** and wait.

I can't move the maf because I don't have a pipe to replace the section where the maf is, but I'm more than sure, that wouldn't help or it'd make things worse. lol.
 
the bpv is strictly just to delete the turkey? I thought once the maf is moved and the bov behind it u dont get any hesitation. I wouldnt mind the turkey aslong as my car was running great.

I didn't have much choice since their holes got bigger from the heat than the screw heads and one got ate up.

I'm gonna un-hook the vac line from it later, and see if the "fuel cut" comes back. When I get the time/money, I'll get the pipe repaired and get the nipple re welded before the maf.
 
Having VICS is beneficial to low-end performance, IIRC. Might want to look into getting a new IM down the road.
 
I know, its on the list, its just not a priority right now. I have a spare to get P&P but like I said, not a priority.
 
I have a priority list, and a wish list.

Priority list is full of things to make the car more stable such as anything I need to fix these little bugs. Wish list is full of other goodies :)

my not-priority list includes:
EGR
WGA
cracked windshield
new hardware for SSQV mounting
new tires

FML.

somehow instead of taking care of any of this, I bought a DSLR camera instead. idk what happened honestly.
