yet another turbo question

i've read that in some turbo installs w/ the tC, the MAF tends to cause some problems, has anyone done or heard of someone installing a recirculating valve instead of a bov on their setup?

i think the problem with some BOV's and the MAF sensor is that when the throttle closes and the BOV releases air, the engine temporarily runs lean, which can be bad.

i haven't heard of any situations in which the MAF itself was a problem... with a good tune and a good kit, you should have zero problems running a BOV
