:headbonk:This is a video of the stock blow off valve venting into the air rather than recirculating.

Is that your car? What tubing is he talking about when he said he removed it?

Yes this is my car . There is a tube that goes from the BOV back into the intake, it recirculates the compressed air rather than releasing it. Doing this removes one side of the tubing from the BOV and leaves it open to vent out. You need to plug the other side of the tube. I used a welder to close a metal pipe and plug the hole. It sounds very clean.

How did you block off the port in the turbo intake pipe?

You dont actually block the side thats closest to the turbo that is where the air is released into the atmosphere. The side that you remove needs to be plugged. I used metal piping and a welder to enclose it. Anything will work to plug it.

the JLT came with a cap, so I just left my bov hose unconnected and slapped the rubber cap on the port

I know. That's why I said the turbo intake pipe (TIP), lol. The intake pipe is where the recirculated air travels back to on a stock setup with the hose connected. When you pull the hose off, you leave the BPV alone and cover/plug the port in the TIP.

I don't have this problem because I have the JLT intake and it includes a cap for the TIP port. However, on a stock TIP, you'd need to cap it with something like one of those little furniture feet caps from Lowe's, duct tape, etc. Although I wouldn't recommend duct tape, I've known of people to use a variety of things to cap the port.

Thinking about doing this to mine.... is there no stuttering between shifts or anything? worried that an air sensor is gonna freak out when un accounted air is no longer there.
