Has anyone with a Greddy type s bov plug the intake return line rather that recirculate their bov? if so, how does it run? Thanks in advance.

nm...i figured it out myself. it has a rough idle and is not very driveable. i wonder why that is. it was never a problem with 100% atmospheric bov's like hks, blitz, or turbo xs. weird.

Could be the amount of intake air bled off by the BOV. The bigger the leak, which is what it is, the bigger the problem.

well i dont have any pics right now, but i can tell you what i did...
instaled it as the directions said, but after some experimenting, i took out the small spring in the BOV, and then i disconnected the return pipe from the BOV, and plugged it up. However, make sure that you keep the vacuum hose plugged into it, that vacuum pipe is the smaller rubber hose on the top right. Ill try to get some more pix up soon for you, but i would try taking out the small spring first, it made a huge difference for me.
