That would be tough to do because the stock SR recirc valve leaks air at idle unlike aftermarket BOV's.

WOULD A AFTERMARKET HOTPIE/ BOV MOUNTED WORK? OR STILL THE SAME THING WITH IDLING AND RICH STUMBLES?

An aftermarket BOV might help. But not recircing the BOV on an engine that uses a MAFS will most likely always cause it to run rich in between shifts and can cause the idle issue. The computer is expecting that air that you are venting to be plumbed back into the intake.

Get the HKS SSQV. It's a pull style BOV, so even under the highest boost levels it won't leak. It doesn't cause any idle issues, but not recirculating it will cause you to run rich inbetween shifts, like any BOV would. There is an adapter available so you can recirc if you want.
