We have been trying to run a BOV since 1997 on Bosch Motronic cars. We could not seem to keep them from always running rich.

How does the Motronic react to the BOV's? Are there any issues of the MAF detecting the loss?

This is a direct replacement for the 2 diverter valves on the 996TT. We have had no problems with our at all.

It's not that. The actual piece is that of an HKS SSQV blowoff valve. www.hksusa.com
The way we designed the use for the blowoff valve was to recirculate it back into the intake. We have had no idle problems with this piece whatsoever. We actually got better response with this unit over the stock diverter valves. We have not tested this unit over any other companies that offer diverter valves for the 996TT.

It seems that you and he are getting twisted on the lingo. You are venting back into the intake (diverting) whereas a true "blow off" valve would vent to the atmosphere. You are calling your setup a "blow off valve" (which it is up until you add the recirculating connect to it), but it is really a diverter valve setup. They are the same tool, but only differ in where the excess air goes.
The setup you have is technically a diverter valve because it isn't losing the excess air into the atmosphere. The problem with doing that on a MAF setup is that you run rich at shifts and you sometimes get odd idle conditions. He was wondering if you had solved the problem of running a true BOV that vents to the atmosphere.

What about the long term fuel trim?
This is a sure fire way to tell if the unit is working properly or will eventually cause a rich fuel condition.
I'm not too concerned with full throttle. I'm more curious about the part throttle.

Thanks again for your order. It was a pleasure talking to you.
