Has anyone tried venting APS BOV ?
So I removed the hose to the intake pipe to make the BOV full vent to atmosphere. The car idles better to me and sounds a lot better. I didn't notice any lag between shifts nor did my car stall when coming to a stop IMO it idles much better than before. Just sharing incase someone wants to give it a try.

Does the actual blow off sound the same in this configuration? Or is it much more amplified fluttering?

Could this mess with any A/F ratios, or anything to do with the actual operation. My car is running fine and I don't want to change anything but if it sounds better than hell ya. I just don't want to change any of the functional side.
