Forgive me father for I have sinned!!
Please forgive me everyone......
In a moment of madness I went all chavtastic and stuck a VTA BOV on the Scooby
I know i know......in my defence though I went with the Forge BOV as it's a bit subtle below 3k and only really makes a fast and furious ppppssshhhhhh (or however the **** you write it) noise above 3-4K but I'm fairly certain it's not coincendence because the car runs like a bag of **** now when giving it the berries.
I had read up beforehand about how for a moment when changing gear and backing off the throttle it will run rich and it's obviously causing me issues where it's bogging down, causing a flat spot.
I'll be sticking the std recirc BOV back on, fingers crossed it goes back to normal.

Well done for confessing your sin and admitting you have made a mistake 
My last blob had a forge DV, and they are one of the better ones, but it still felt **** when giving it some (it was mapped in). I replaced it with a std recirc and it felt loads better, loads smoother on gear change
I won't fit another one and always discourage people from fitting one

Best getting one with adjustable spring tension so around town you get desirable chatter and on country lanes you get inner child grins. There's a point on my car where it both vents and chatters, then pops n cracks due to the slight overfuel - little things!
