seems like a question for antz...

 

if you want to have the BOV re-circulate are like the factory one does, you need to run large pipe from the outlet of the BOV to the fresh-air side of the intake tract (pre-turbo-inlet), which may require your pipe kit to have a bung welded to it, if it doesn't already have one... almost everybody who puts in a turbo-side intake doesn't bother running that unsightly BOV re-circulation pipe across the engine bay and either has the BOV blocked or allows it to vent to atmosphere.

Oh okay I guess I won’t recirculate it like the way it is when stock. I’ve been having a cutting out problem when I floor my car and it cuts out when it gets to high revs. Was thinking the bov could be causing it. 
 

what do I need to do so I can run the car without a blow off valve?

Your car won't be cutting out because of the BOV as you need to do nothing for it to run fine with no BOV as these cars run 100% fine with no BOV.

Oh okay, 

1st question- would a aftermarket/ larger intercooler cause and a antz turbo side intake cause to much air causing it to cut out?

 

2. do I need to block the vaccum hose from the bov if I’m wanting to run no bov

Yes, you should blocked the vacuum line that connects to the BOV at a minimum to disable it or remove it. Always plug the openings you create, otherwise you get vacuum leaks or unfiltered air etc.

 

A turbo-side intake and intercooler shouldn't cause the car to have issues on boost by themselves, but if your car was tuned and on the ragged edge already, then it might have tipped it over the edge... I'd suspect your issue is related to something else entirely.

Just letting you know, don’t think it would contribute to the problem but I have a stage 1 plasmaman intercooler and a antz turbo side air filter kit
