HKS recirculating air kit

[crash27578]

I put a HKS recirculating air kit on my car two days ago and i can't tell one bit of differance in peformance yet. I reset the computer when I did it to so think I would have noticed it pretty quick but still nothing. What now? I love my bov sound but with the kit i don't here it of course. If I don't feel a dif in performance by this weekend I might take it off. Would this be ok since I can't tell anything or would it be best to leave it?

Not to sound like a jerk or anything, but I know you have had to do some research about venting to the atmosphere with a MAF. In the process, you would have learned that its not a good idea performance wise to do this. Your car will run like crap basically. The whole point of upgrading your bov is because you don't want it to leak and thus hold boost, not for HP gains imo.

I didn't explain my situation very well, it's my bad. I've had my hks bov for over a month venting out. The hks made a hell of a dif itself but I got to reading on the whole maf thing and discovered that it's not good to vent out so I got the recirculating air kit to help but the thing is my car is running the same now as it did before the kit and from my research it should be running better. I really never had problem before venting out except the car running a little rich but not bad. Ideling is not a prob either, stays aroud 700 and moves around very little. Sorry about not explaining very well.

Do you have an aftermarket boost guage, or boost controller? (your mod list doesnt' show them) There's no way to really configure your new BOV without at least the guage, cause you can't tell what your boost is doing. Leaking? Holding? Improving? Etc.

b: you wont feel a diff, but your car will. keep it on.
