Message	"Mass air sensor (MAS) equipped cars do not like BOVs. When a BOV vents to the atmosphere, air that has already been metered by the MAF goes missing, and the ECU will flood your engine with fuel intended for the air that was vented. On high power cars running a lot of boost, this can be bad enough to cause your car to stumble and die." curious if anyone has any more insight on this?
