Hey... This weekend I tried to put a tial bov on my mkiii but couldnt get it to work. I got the valve from a friend that had it on his integra. I believe I installed it correctly by putting the valve before the 3000 pipe and running a vacuum line to the top of it and blocking off the spots for the stock valve. Its all pretty straight forward. The problem was that I noticed the valve was open the whole time the car was idleing. So I think the car was sucking up air through the valve and that air wasnt being read by the AFM. My car was idling horribly after installing it, the rmps bounced up and down, almost stalling. It even stalled a bunch of times. It did drive fine once I was going and was back to normal when I put the old one back on. Does anyone have any info on these bovs? I think i have heard of a few people using tial, do I need to do anything special. Thanks

sounds like you dont have it tight enough and the vaccum is pulling it open on idle. tighten it up and try again.

Thanks for the replies... I have been buisy and havent been on here in a couple days. Im pretty sure that Ill have to get a new spring from tial. im gonna email tial. The spring that is in the bov is the 7 pound one but a guy I talked to said it shouldnt matter.
