when you have open atmosphere Blow off valves(BPV's, Pop off valves, or whatever you want to call them, its all the same stuff) you are creating a big vacuum leak after the mass air flow sensor. thats why you have a crappy idle and stalling.
there is no difference between a BOV and a BPV. the only thing is if its recirculated or not.
oh, even if he could adjust it, it wouldn't make a difference for his idle quality concern.

try the HKS bov set for wrx, if you dont really care anything else on your car, and just want to sound of bov, the HKS can make you happy, for just spending about $300.

BOV= bad..

just put the stock one on.. sell the BOV, buy an EM of some sort. get a tune with a CAI if u want some whooshing sounds.. or u can satisfy urself with the awesome sound of the turbo if u get a down pipe

btw, EM= Engine management, as in like cobb accessport

just a learning experience. i ran without recirc on the stock bov, car ran like crap. put on hks ssqv bov, ran fine unlike stock without recirc, hate the sound but gave me nice backfires so i had it on for about two weeks then took it off after i got k&n short ram intake. i'm much more happy with the stock bov + intake than aftermarket bov w/o aftermarket intake.

my car is making 275 on mustang dyno w/ tbe, intake and generic cobb stage 2 map so i'm happy.

Check your vacuum line. In the process remove it before you do damage to your car.
