Angry BOV; motor running to rich??

This being my second post im going to try and explain this as much as i can,

I have an audi a4 with this list of modifications:

GT2871R BB turbo,FMIC, 440cc injectors,New Light weight Flywheel,Stage 3 clutch,,ESC tuning crank pully & FPR, Bosch 0404 Fuel pump, magnaflow catback, And its been tuned since then on 18psi

the previous owner put a HKS sskq bov on it and now it runs rich, the problem im having with it is the obvious smoke that comes out ghe exhaust when i go more then half throttle and at times it will choke it self out if i don't go down in the gears right after hitting full boost, im in an area where there is no all wheel dyno and my main question is there any way that the air fuel mixture can be "street" tuned to fix this problem? or is there any other reason why my car could be doing this, . thanks in advance for the help!

We use diverter valves. Your chip should be tuned for a
BOV.

The car was tuned with the diverter valve installed and then he switched to the open atmosphere hks valve, that is why i assume it is running rich becuase it is not properly tuned for open atmosphere... without an allwheel dyno and working 70hrs a week, i'de rather find different options then to drive 6hrs for a minor problem im switching exhaust piping and muffler too tomorrow. sorry to be so confusing but any help as to how i can get my ecu programmed for this new hks valve would be awesome!
