Can bov's decrease your gas mileage? I have an ssqv (recirculated). Will taking it off and putting the stocker back on increase my mpg?

It's just wasted air that doesn't make it into the engine being put back in the intake system. I don't think the stocker or the SSQV would make a difference in MPG.

it will affect fuel consumption.
The air being vented is measured air, and when the bov release the engine tries to compensate by dumping fuel.
I plan on plumbing my bov back into the intake pipe.

keeping it out of boost will increase your MPG much, much greater than what BOV you have....as hard as it is to do that :D

Yeah, recirc there should be no difference.
Hell, even atmo it shouldn't be anything noticeable.... quit being a gas-pansy!
