As the title says, how many of you KA-T guys are running atmospheric BOV with no stalling/idle issues?

I want to put mine on my cold pipe, and just run it straight atmospheric.

then you will have stalling issues unless using an afc or have the ecu tune worked to prevent stalling..

Currently blow through, who gives a f*** if my maf will max sooner its a z32 and I will never run 500hp...

I had mine like that and i'd have to feather it after getting on it so it wouldn't die. I recirculated it and now i don't have that issue, and you don't hear the obnoxious noise as much anymore.

blow through, the MAF is inline, down stream from the turbo, not pull through like the SR is stock before the turbo
