When we told him it was open he had us use the other spring so it would stay closed, What does your BOV do at idle? Even with a low idle that thing is moving a lot of air!

It should be open all the way at idle, make sure they mounted the MAFS the right way, and not backwards. but at idle your car should run on atmospheric pressure, hense the BPV completely opened at idle.

I hope they dumped the Original stillen tune and started from scratch aswell.

Evohunter/ top, did you start adjusting the BOV from its softest ( unscrewed) or hardest ( all the way tight)? I think it's the first but looking for as much info as I can get before Monday.

You have to have it wide open at idle. That bypasses all that air or your motor would need to idle with a ton of air being forced into it. It should idle with 17hg of vac.

I watched mine to make sure it slammed shut upon accell. Your line to it will be forcing down on the spring once u hit boost so it equals out the boost it's getting from the charge pipe.

With the blue keep it unscrewed as possible but your still going to get some turkey ****.

Thank you both! I couldn't and wouldn't have done this without your help.

I didn't have time to spend at the shop today but I don't think they have figured out the base tune yet. So frustrating.

That sucks. Are you doing the speed density tuning?

JWillis72 · 11-16-2015, 06:57 PM

Dang man is it still the idle issues or something else?

JWillis72 · 11-17-2015, 05:23 PM

Same thing, they cant get the car a decent base map. I have lost faith in the tuner, the shop has reach out to Specialty Z at my request to see if we can get them involved.

I set the BOV like you told me but the tuner had them install a spring that kept it closed at idle. When I told him it was wrong he didn't want to hear is and told me I didn't know what I was talking about. We are going are own ways, I'm over him. If you don't mind I may have the shop call you tomorrow? We have tried the MAFs and SD tuning but he can't get it to even idle.

TopgunZ · 11-17-2015, 08:16 PM

It has to be open. That guy has no idea. No wonder he can't tune it. He doesn't even know how a centri setup works.

Are your mafs in the right direction? I had screwed that up my first go. It wouldn't idle at all. Check that out for me.
