dsm bov Q
im using a 2g dsm bov, is it suppost to open when you dry rev your motor and suck air in? i couldnt find a cheap midget to hang out under the hood, so i have no idea if it does it under load, i asked my cousing who i got the bov from and hes had his hks ssqv for over a yr now and couldnt remember, anybody have an idea?

generally anything over 18" of vac should be able to open it. the springs in those are pretty soft. i had one on my MR2 for a little experiment and i needed a bleed valve on the port to keep it closed at idle from the vacuum, so yes, it will likely open up on a rev.

The factory 2g BOVs are meant for recirculation. If you unhook it off the intake pipe, cap off the intake pipe and just let it sit there, it won't suck up air. If you do a quick rev is will expell air.. kinda a "cough" sound.

You don't have a maf sensor.
