I just wanted to know if anyone has any quoms with the hks ssqv v3 bov. I have been using an ebay knockoff type rs bov and it did the job for a while but now it's leaking pretty bad at idle and I have to give the car gas to keep it from dying. Classy, I know. Anyone used or have any experience with the HKS bov's?

I didn't like mine. What do you mean you have to keep your foot on the gas to keep the car from dying, sounds like you have a problem with your tune or your not running the proper engine management to be using a VTA BOV.

the leaking bov is after the afm so there is unmetered air going in the engine without any fuel to compensate. My lame fmu setup is to blame. I didn't have this problem before as my afm was after the bov with my previous intercooler setup. I know I need a proper fuel management system but money to pay for school > money towards car. How much do the tial bov's run?

Tial is a great way to go. They work best with a vacuum signal from a large port and quality vacuum hose that won't easily collapse.
They sound like a whip cracking when venting a lot of pressure.
