BOV installation. Before or after the tune
so i have a FP black going in soon and i am thinking of getting the tial qr to go with it.
I understand that i will be selecting the spring rate depending on the engine vacuum. so here is my question
1. would my engine vacuum change with a new turbo setup?
2. should i wait until i get fp black installed, read the vacuum, then buy the BOV?
3. does it really matter if i tune the car before or after BOV installation if my stock DV isnt leaking?
thanks!

The only thing that really controls vacuum would be cams/compression, so a turbo change wont change a thing.
Get the BOV if you want, bearing in mind that you don't want a TiAl if you are running a MAF tune, you'll want something that recirculates, like a Synapse.
It will matter once the Black is on, because I assume you will run more boost, and depending how far you go, the stock DV probably wont hold. I think the IX DV is tested to work to 28-30psi, so over that, you'll probably leak, and lose power.

I would personally install a new DV before your tune.
You have a Black, so I assume you are going high PSI.
Even though it seems as if your OEM DV does not leak. I would put money on it that as you get to operating temp, it will be bypassing boost.
I got tuned with a Turbosmart. It held boost great.
I could not stand the constant fluttering, so I went with a IX DV. I can definitely feel the reduction in power.
