While you can use the BOV on modern turbo cars, you car ends up running rich as the computer calculates the fuel/air mixture based on what's coming into the a "closed" system. Thoughts?
BMW uses an TMAP instead of MAFS sensor. It judges pressure instead of volume allowing us to use BOV's without a problem. Alot of people run BOV's on the N54
