i have the 06 sti and only thing i have under the hood is the greddy type rs BOV, atmospheric, when i hit the gas a little the car wants to stall but doesnt, but it feels like its bout too, and other thing is that when im driving the car stalled 3 times, what do u guys think is the problem, do u guys think its the BOV??

lol Take the bov off and it will run fine. If you want the crazy "psst" sound then keep it on and play with the adjustments and you should be able to get it to run fine. I wouldn't want a cool sound if it sacrificed drivabilty, thats just me but then again...

your car is stalling out because you car thinks more air is comming in than there really is. You Mass Air Flow sensor meter how mutch air is comming into the intake. It then, compensates by adding the correct amount of fuel for a healthy combustion ratio.

Your problem is that the allready metered air is escaping through your blow off valve. So the computer is adding to much fuel. You could tune it out to run with your BOV but you probably should just recycle it back into your charge pipes for now.

subwrxkid and turbotagteam got it. you might be able to away with a partial-atmospheric BOV as opposed to a full atmospheric although there is no benefit to running an aftermarket BOV on your car stock.

Just put the stock BPV back on. There is absolutely no gain by having the aftermarket BOV. I can't understand why so many people insist on putting the atmo. BOV's on at the expense of performance, just so they can hear it. Just put an intake on-you'll be surprised how loud the stock BPV is and the car will run properly.

My old blow off valve, I would vent to the atmosphere. Yeah, it sounded bad ass but was pretty ****ty on performance. Stalling when driving isnt fun sometimes. ;p

Recirc kits are pretty easy to get for any blow off valve. Some don't have them, you can make them yourself with hardpipes. Not to mention with hardpipes that you can make from home depot or where ever, it sounds just as loud.
