would this cause rich conditions????
if you bolted on a GFB BOV and let it vent 100% would it possibly make the engine run rich since the air is not being put back into the engine.......but vented outside instead????
the airbox is hacked.........resonator removed and pulling air from inside fender..........could that cause a problem????
there are no mods done to this car yet, i have stuff on my floor....but i wanna make sure that the engine is running tops before i start changing things. it seems the engine is running rich, the exhaust is very black and dirty and the car seems to run rough at speeds on the highway (at least that's when i notice it most) almost like it's not running on all four cylinders. i can't tell if the car is at a loss of power.....so i'm kinda stuck on what to do.
there are 30,000 miles on the WRX and it's a 2003.
i'm thinking i should just take it to the dealer and let then look at it. like i said there are no mods done to it......i'm just wondering if the BOV it causing the engine to run rich.........or maybe it's lean due to the airbox hack and this extremely cold weather.
NEED SOME HELP BOYS.........i have a stage 2 kit sitting in my garage that i wanna install.......but not till it's all clear!!!!

I don' think that your intake setup has anything to do with it. I have a non stock intake and mine runs like a raped ape. Many wrx owners have done the intake mods that you have done with no trouble. If you don't like the hole in the fender i believe that you can buy a forester block off plate or just get some sheet metal and make your own. Also as ted said there is no trouble with running a little rich although gas prices are very high right now.

The BOV is causing the rich conditions...intake doesnt have much to do with it...with a stage 2 you dont really need a bov ...it doesnt do anything for performance
