Not sure how the maf is going to like that transition that close. The easiest way is to watch the maf counts. If it hunts around at an idle then it's getting turbulent air going thru it.

but the transition is after the maf it should not effect the readings...am i wrong ? all the pipes including the housing the maf is on is 3'' then after the maf it goes into the 3.5'' bbk intake

Yes that is incorrect. Transitions before and after the maf will effect it's reading. This is just past experience with my car. They general rule of thumb is at least 6" before and after sensor with not bends or transitions.

Sorry. You might be fine. My car is a little bit different of a animal so that might have something to do with is also. I had to remake my piping 3x's the first year before I could get the car to idle correct. This year that is why I was very careful with the sensor placement when I made all the piping all over again.

It looks like it's running really rich. Be careful with that. Cylinder wash down might be a concern. If the oil smells like gas, change it.

Hard to tell what it's doing in the video.

when you said that you were going to put a 3psi spring in the BOV I thought it was too soft and that it might push open, but you mentioned that's what is recommended for blower cars so I left it at that and did not say anything. Before paying big bucks for another BOV try a stiffer spring first.

The purpose of the spring in a BOV IS NOT to hold the BOV closed under boost. The purpose of the spring in a BOV is to hold the BOV closed when your throttle plate is closed (idle and deceleration). Under these conditions, the vacuum in your intake manifold is much higher than the vacuum in your intake piping (therefore under the BOV) so the BOV has a natural tendency to spring open.
