I know it must have been discussed somewhere, but its such a big forum and finding it would take forever. I just installed my sequential BOV and it sounds absolutely MEAN!!...so here I was, going to parents house on the M2 during rush hour, and all of a sudden STALLLLLLLLL!!!!!!! Then it almost killed me during a turn when I had the clutch in and half way through the turn, it decided to stall again almost slamming me into the side of the road. That pretty much kept happening so I ended up having to down shift alot and keep the revs going not to stall....................................SO................................i've heard its the difference in air intake that causes the AFM to do XXXXXYYY, is there a way to get it right without having to go to a garage and getting it tuned?

Also, getting a lot of misfiring at the high revs

Also(2), is knocking the sound of knocking when u turn off the engine? If so, how do I fix that?

Thank you all

I know how you feel with the new BOV venting to atmosphere but this is causing your problem.

When venting to atmo you lose air which your ECU thinks it already has. This is causing it to run rich and possibly a bad idle where it is hunting.

You need to plum it back unfortunealty.

Your car will start to mis-fire after a while cause your spark plug are now fouled.

Get them replaced and the car will run fine again unless of course you keep that BOV on, then this problem will come back.

I've noticed that some people have luck with a BOV that vent to atmo and others don't. Might have to do with installation & or type of BOV.

The young padawan need learn the ways of the Search Button he does.

I know it must have been discussed somewhere, but its such a big forum and finding it would take forever.

And hence the search button, make search easy it will

    • There are black hose clamps as well if you care. Plazmaman for example sells some: https://plazmaman.com/product/black-hose-clamps-premium-quality-stainless-breeze/
    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
