Installed a H-RFL. Smells like egg now.
I recently installed a H-RFL bov and seem to be having a few problems.
I'm getting egg smells from under the hood.
Could the BOV be leaking exhaust or am I just running rich?
I thought adjusting the BOV would help but I couldn't figure out if I had to increase or decrease the tension. I increased it alittle and now the car idles kinda funny. Also The revs seem too drop too low after I depressed the gas at a stop.
Any advice?

egg smell is not rich, it's lean.
advice, put your stock bypass valve back on. BOV's do nothing other than make cool sounds and actually hurt performance.

The difference: w/the STOCK BOV it drives so much more smooooooth. Definitely get rid of that BOV.
