21 psi bov problem

I have an hks ssqv bov, I've had it I'n my previous build of 9 psi and my car never stalled after it went off. But now on 21 psi I was told I absolutely need a recurculation kit. Do I need a recalculation kit? Because on 9 psi mt bov was on left side (looking from the front) and the shop moved it to the other side. It's a 2007 ls. It now stalls after it blows off and they said this is because it's 21 psi and it needs to be recirculated.

So if it's just moved before maf I'll be fine for 21 psi? I ran pre maf on 9 pounds and it was fine.

21psi is a lot different than 9psi

I think a lot of the guys with turbos running higher than 15psi have to run the maf post bov or run a recirculating bov since the air released is a large enough quantity to affect your A/F ratio to stall. (anyone knows for sure correct me, i'm working on learning as much as i can about turbos before i throw one on my 2.2 )

Ya the shop said because it is 21 psi that it won't matter. I'll probably head safe route and do recurculation unless someone here knows forsure

Move the BOV flange to be Pre-MAF... and switch to a TIAL while you're at it.



Problem Solved.

Personally, I wouldn't mess with recirculating it. Most likely will be cheaper and easier to move it.


EDIT: And for the love of god... get rid of that wing.
