I would like to vent the stock BPV to atmosphere or install a BOV or even a BOV adapter such as the Boomba Racing's one on my European Mustang EcoBoost. I am mainly interested in this aggressive VTA sound (wooshhhhh). However:
It seems that European cars have a MAF sensor instead of a MAP one. Is it a good idea to vent the stock BPV to atmosphere or install a BOV? I know that on a MAF sensor equipped car, the ECU thinks that it has a specific amount of air in the intake system and injects fuel accordingly. The amount of air released by the blow-off valve is not taken into consideration and the engine runs rich for a while. This seems to lead to engine stalling and also I have read elsewhere that it will lead to engine damage in the long term (spark plugs, catalytic converter, etc).
I want this aggressive Vent-to-Atmosphere (VTA) blow-off sound and throttle responsiveness, but is Venting-to-Atmosphere (either by venting the stock BPV to atmosphere or installing a BOV or even using a BOV adapter like Boomba Racing one) good for my MAF sensor equipped European Mustang?
Also, assuming that VTA is possible in any way described above without side effects on an EU-spec EcoBoost, is a tune required after installing a BOV or BOV adapter?
EDIT:
I am editing my post because I cannot delete it and I think that this is interesting information for owners of the European Mustang EcoBoost.
I just found out that European Mustangs are NOT equipped with a MAF sensor but with a MAP one, just like the American ones. I went down to my garage and with the help of a good friend of mine in another country (he was guiding me through photos exchanged over Messenger) we confirmed that there is no MAF sensor to be found on our EU-spec cars. I also confirmed that with our Mustang guy here in Europe (thank you [MENTION=21881]MustangMustHaves[/MENTION]!)
It seems that there is a thread where someone falsely claimed that EU cars are MAF and everyone ever since (including myself) went with it. So it seems that we Europeans are also in the game for some wooshhhh wooshhhhh sound!
