Thanks man, I knew the part about running rich for a second, but I was looking for what kind of engine problems I would be looking at, which was crappy idle, and engine hesitation. I even looked in this forum for an answer but couldn't find anything.
I just had to try it though. I went out and just took off the hose to the BOV. The car ran perfectly fine at first with it off, no struggling idle or anything, I went for a drive and I can't believe the sound difference. The N/T guys are lucky for that. But I went about 5 miles, having fun with the throttle, blowing off at 19psi from the Greddy Type S and it sounded awesome. When I came back home though, the rpms were hanging out around 600ish and the car was sometimes struggling to stay running. I hit the throttle to about 4500 rpms and the rpms went back to where they were supposed to go.
I really wish I could install this Tial BOV I have sitting on my floor but I don't want to spend the money for the GM MAF setup just so I can have a louder BOV and have to worry about adjusting the MAF all the time.
I just hope the BOV is louder with the GT35R turbo on with the Greddy Type-R BOV.
