not too familiar so maybe you can tell me. why not vent to air? what is the best setting?

The arguement I have read for this is.
The current diverter valve setup on the evo x is set for full recirculation instead of venting it to the atmosphere. What is claimed that setting up a blow-off valve/DV (terminology interchangable) on the evo x to 100% atmospheric venting will cause the engine to run even more rich in it's fuel consumption due to the loss of air in the system.
I can't confirm or deny this one way or the other because some guys say they're running fine with 100% atmospheric and others are still saying it's a bad idea.

i wonder does it make a difference weather or not you have the factory reflash or not, which would cause some not to have problems and others without, to have problems

I would seriously doubt it. The first reflash was designed to eliminate an idle problem caused by an improper memory of the key-position, even though some people say it helped their top-end but there are still lots of complaints about that.
Even this second flash to address this upper-rpm "stutter" and sluggishness shouldn't affect the operation of a bov because really it's only doing it's job when you're changing gears. (unless it leaks in which case you would be loosing boost pressure)

To all of you who are hating on full atmospheric bov's with the evo x, if you block off the recirc hole, there's no way the bov venting to atmosphere will affect the maf readings since its at the opposite side of the system and not behind the maf.
