Couple BOV Questions

[encasemyheart]

So most people vent the BOV to the atmosphere, but with a MAS setup, wouldn't that cause the car to run rich? How do you compensate for this? Doesn't the Apexi S-AFC have a feature to compensate for this? Or is the running rich between shifts not even a big deal at all...

Just wondering, I'm trying to eliminate as much plumbing as possible from the intercooler pipes.

Thank you, so there is no real benefit to venting to the intake except to maybe have a perfectly running engine or something?

yes You could run an hks vpc and get rid of the hot wire all together, but thats a little mucho exspensive.

The Bosch BOVs are ok for a while, but after a year or so they start leaking at higher boost pressures. (like above 14psi). I've had several over the years and they all wear out on me after about a year. They are a good inexpensive BOV that sound nice, but I would start looking for something a little more durable. 1st gen. talon/eclipse BOVs are getting cheaper and they can take a lot of boost for years.
