stalls or rough startup only after get gas

ok, this is a weird one. whenever i get gas no matter how much or what level i fill up at, when i start the car up, it has a very rough startup with idle problens, or once it took a lot to turn it over then it stalled. ok i got a turboxs BOV (no idle problems normally) catlless downpipe and catback. this only started recently like 2 weeks or so ago. could it possibly be because of the colder weather? but it dosnt do it first thing in the morning when the car is the coldest. ONLY after i get gas. any insight or suggestions would be great.

get rid of the bov! you're running rich. Your bov is not recirculating the air that it should. So your air to fuel ratio is off. so sacrifice the whooshes and put a little coin in your pocket by selling it and getting back the stock bov. aftermarkets are a waste of money

the turboxs bov does have a rep for causing issues. i have the hks ssqv and its fine. not a problem and been on the car since it had 500 mis. i would put the stock bov back on for a while and see what happens.
