Default Bov recirculation

Hey guys, I have a 99 turbo miata with the FM link piggy back system. It retains the mass air sensor and the bov is recirculated. I wanna vent the bov to atmosphere but the car doesnt run right if I do. Is there any way around this without effecting the performance of the vehicle?

Any standalone or a EMU will do it.

It's gonna take an upgraded ecu system. Standalone or piggyback.

You may be able to vent it if your BOV completely seals. I may be wrong but the ECU takes into account a certain air volume and if that air is lost (VTA) it can really screw up your idle. I had a 2G DSM that I vented, and it stumbled like crazy, and I had a friend whose vented w/ no sweat. Either way, get a damn standalone and dont bother with a piggyback. MS ftw. (i'm biased).

+1, just get a BOV that seals completely at idle.

well my bov is a turbonetics adjustable, so theoretically I could tighten it down until its shut at idle, but then I have to take into consideration compressor surge. But the thing is, will the car stutter between shifts or will that affect anything? Sorry guys, I've built a few turbo hondas but they use MAP sensors which are way different.

The car will run rich between shifts. You need to convert from a MAF to a MAP sensor, and that will require something like an MS or a Hydra or something that allows you to delete the MAF.

There is no other "proper" way to do it.

Look at Apexi's Neo afc. I haven't played with one too much but it has a function like 'deceleration air'. I guess that's to allow a bov on maf.
