2006 wrx with turbo xs rfl bov
Hey guys , so i bought a used turbo xs rfl bov for my 2006 wrx from a fellow subie member. i install everything perfectly and went to drive the car. As im downshifting to neutral my car stalls? We checked out all hoses and it was alright. The idle actually jumps and lowers real low as if its about to die out. I cleaned the bov and added 4 washers.unfortunately car still idling bad. Help ! Anyone find a fix? By the way bov was working fine on his car with no idle problems but on mine it ran like s#it.

Maybe you're flooding between shifts. Your car thinks it's getting more air than it is and provides fuel accordingly. That air it thought it had just got dumped into the atmosphere. Maybe that lag/bog is that momentary state of running rich between shifts. I'd recommend putting your stock recirc valve back on and have your car run properly.
Or perhaps reset the ECU and try again.
