ok i had a blitz bov and it didn't work so i bought a turbo xs bov now it works but my car stalls when i slow down to take a turn or to a stop. my ? is how do i fix it. i did a search and found some things .
1. move the mafs after the bov. how many people have done this and would this work good.
2. the other was to route it back to the intake.
3. one other thing i found was i could get some kind of computer thing like a afc controller that has some kind of bov fuction to fix the problem.

is there any other way or is there anything else that could cause this. i would have to believe that it is stalling now cause my bov is finally working.

you could also just tighten up the bov so it doesn't leak at idle...
blow through mafs works best tho.

s afc is sorta a band aid...

your prob would probably best be solved by recirculating, true your BOV won't be as loud and have less of a "look-at-me!" shriek to it, but that's the price you pay to have your car run like it should ;) (w/o spending the big $ anyway)

do what Yoshi said. If you search in for How To Recirc a Blitz BOV, you should come up with a writeup I made. A similar technique should work for you with the Turbo XS.

does anyone have this set up, your do you know anyone that has had this setup. also would i run in to any problems putting the mafs after the bov. like would it be hard to start or any thing.

I changed my setup to a blow through just last week but ended up going back to normal after a few days. The main problem I had was cold starts. It wouldn't even idle unless I gave it some gas but once it warmed up it idled fine. Also noticed decreased throttle response, seemed to lag a little at part-throttle. I know others are running this setup with no problems but it just didn't work for me. I say keep it recirculated to keep the turbo spooled in between shifts.
