Hi, Last week I received a Torque Solutions BOV Spacer. Now I know the BOV is bad for the civics due to the MAF sensor being before the turbo, but i had learned that after i bought it and decided to slap it in for a little, this was last week. Today i got a Ktuner, i had planned to take the bov spacer off in a month, just wanted to run it for a little, will this mess with the parameters/ put my engine/car in danger or risk? I want to flash right now but dont really have the space or time currently to remove the bov, any input is appreciated, cheers.

Why do I feel like this is the beginning of the next “I don’t know how it could have happened but I blew my motor” thread

We don't recommend a vent to atmosphere BOV, if that's what you have.
What is the damage, if any, for having a VTA? I have been doing research and can’t find anything on it.

If you don’t VTA then how is the extra boost handled? Where does it go? Does the car need the boost exhaust to run properly? I just put one on and my exhaust sounds louder, I feel like it has a little more power and I am getting more “pops” when I’m in sport mode. Any info is greatly appreciated.

Considering how much information is right here on this site, I'm surprised you couldn't find anything on it.
