    HAHAHA dude a blow off valve does not make a car run rich. It only makes the car backfire in lower gears while decelerating while not in the gas because our cars don't respond well to atmospheric BOVs G/L with the sale though I know it won't take long Wagon /STi front end swap is my dream.

    And you sure are a clear and utter idiot that doesnt know what the hell he is talking about.

    So listen here NOOB, a blow off valve WILL NOT CAUSE A BACKFIRE. Maybe an afterfire, if that is what your little mind is reffering to. A blow off valve does make the car run rich during shifts because the MAF believes there is still air still waiting to be combusted however there isnt because it wasnt recirculated. And you want to know what else? There is a catlytic element before the turbo. Wanna know something else? Depending on how long the stock UpPipe has been ran with the blow off valve it could be a ticking time bomb. How does a turbine compressor wheel trying to eat up pieces of the converter sound? I dont like ruining a sale, but its something that needs to be looked into. So stop with the shit you dont know anything about and get the hell out of here.

    VTA on car with mass air = metered air being vented = rich.

    Sounds to me like your car knowledge came from TF&TF.

    lol and what might the reason be for it "backfiring" on the decel? because its running rich maybe, that "backfiring" you hear is the unburnt fuel being dumped into the combustion chamber then out into the turbo and igniting in the hot exhaust side of the turbo and the exhuast pipe.

    but anyways good deal on the car, beautiful car but i'm really not feeling the style of the wheels, the color looks great but the style just doesn't look right..good luck on the sale. I know someone will find the car appealing.

    LOL your kidding right? an atmospheric BOV does exactly that - lets see - bov lets out air into atmosphere, therefore for that split moment less air is going into the engine ( its being blown off ) therefore there is more fuel than air in the ratio than normal which equals richness

    Ron - man, I wish I had the money to get it - I've been wanting a daily ,and I want a Subaru Esp. a bugeye
