I've read lots of things in the past on various cars about idle issues and whatnot with BOVs open at idle, even when then BOV is before the MAF. Most people put stiffer springs in them like Sportsguy83 or shim them to keep them closed at idle and it fixes the problem. It usually has little affect on the BOV at boost either, you probably won't see much more compressor surge.
