I would like to purchase a bov monday. I was looking at a turbonetics dual. it can be open or recirculated. To those that are running enthalpy tunes. what kind are you running and are you venting or recirculating for non stalling issues?

I guess the smart thing to do is recirculate due to the maf is reading the air and will make you run rich in between shifts, witch in turn messes up your idle.

Yep.
Recirc is the best option.

I have a Turbonetics Raptor that I recirc'd, zero issues.

Like Razi said, any recirc is the best way to go. The other alternative is running your MAF in a blow-thru setup.

thats what i'd like to do for a cleaner look'. Enthalpy emailed me and said he has a few things he can do to help. I forgot to tell him I wanted to go blow thru. wd i herd that blow thru set up is killer on a MAF. Does not last long. but if theres something i can do to make it last and not stall out between shifts, from venting my bov.. im game

Not sure there is anything you can do to make your MAF more durable. I've always had mine recirced. I know we've had several members run in a blow-thru setup without stalling, but I haven't heard much in the way of MAF longevity.

I don't care much for the psshh psshh noise, but that's just me.

That is LITERALLY the entire point...at least for me.

Yeah, I don't need to hear the BOV. I also don't care if anyone else hears it. The BOV pssssssshhhhhttttt, comes with a stereotype I'd like to avoid.

I do have white face overlays on my gauges for the coupe as well. Though I don't know who Chaz is.

Blow through the BOV is normally on the hot pipe. That's where my SSQV is, but its a JWT instead of Enthalpy.

Guess you could put the BOV on the cold pipe for Blow Through, would just have to be before the MAF and a good distance away.

I have my blow-through MAF on my cold pipe, about 5" before the bend before going into the throttle body. The BOV is on the pipe just after the intercooler. I've never had any MAF reliability issues or stalling.
Blow-through is the way to go. If you ever blow a charge pipe coupler or anything, you can still get home.

Blow through no doubt. I have an enthalpy tune and have been running blow through with an HKS bov to atmosphere with no complaints while driving and/or shifting. Perfect idle since day 1.
