IIRC black smoke is the car running rich. Or blowing carbon out the exhaust. One of the two.

Default So, not normal?
If its because im running rich, i know it has to be because my DVs are set to release too much to the atmosphere.

Default Well, i just went and put one on full DV and one on full BOV and my car is running much better.
Dont know what i was thinking with both of them on almost all BOV.

I never thought about running only one BOV. Probably still not good for the car?

Default Why do you say that? Im still getting enough air rerouted. It feels just as smooth as my hyperboost
back when i had them

I dunno. Always been told that any BOVs are bad.

Default If you have K04s, it seems to be a norm with the programming...
Its actually common to see a little bit on pretty much any chip if you pay attention.
