I just want to turn it up a little, to help with the rpm dips under hard decel. Please let me know where the screw is, or if i have to adjust the TP sensor itself. Pics would help.

back of the TB where the throttle wire is. See my post in the other thread you jacked. If you are stalling upon deceleration make sure you are recirculating enough.
 
I'm Recirculating , and i have my BOV set pretty soft so it will turkey during normal driving

Maybe it'll help if you tighten it a bit...

ditto. even with recirc, if that BOV is loose it will open easier than the BPV and air will be more prone to exit out of the BOV than recirculate. Tighten it a bit to find the g-spot. I mean sweet spot.
 
you think? i have the Dual port Turbsmart BOV, i was thinking about making it full time recirc, since i get turkey no matter what i do.

With my dual setup, it took me about 2 hours to find the sweet spot (before the dipping idle problem).

That valve should vent enough to kill the turkey, but maybe I am wrong. Pics of your setup? Also, if your recirc hose is kinked or there is a block in the system somewhere you will always get turkey.
 
its not kinked, i made it out of PVC, there is a U and one more 90 in it, but it should flow nice and smooth

ahhh get rid of that pvc! ghetttttttttttto
 
There is no other way. I cant make the turns with hose, cuz it will kink. Plus i covered it with electrical tape, so it looks like the stock BPV pipes. Do you have a better solution?

eh... just hose with elbows I guess. I made my hose long and had it loop around so it would not kink. I am going to find some elbows today to shorten the hose. How did you attach the PVC to intake / hot pipe?
 
I have hose coming from both the BOV, and the CAI, then i just have 3/4" PVC in coming from each hose, with hose clamps. But is all sealed PVC in between the short hose at each end. I'll take some pics tonight. you will be jealous (laugh)

probably, my hose has white criss-cross pattern in it.... I need to get some silicone hose!
 
Speaking of silicone hose...the kid that i bought my car from put silicone hose for the brake booster, so if i pump the pedel while i'm idling, they will pinch and my cars Vac will drop and my car will start to stumble. I have to get a thicker gauge hose for it. I also stopped using its vac for my BOV. I'm using the Vac that are orig BPV was into

Talk to Jonboy, he can get you the oem brake booster at about $30.
 
BB must be thickwalled... it is the strongest vac source in the car. I think it would be nice to find a replacement.
