BOV problem

ok so i relocated my maf to run the bov.... My tuner did my vacuum lines and it runs fine i just lose boost... So i was driving home today and i did a wide open throttle in third and i steadily lost boost from 25 to 20 in seconds... so my question is how do i run my vacuum lines and im running the bpv also...

I run both bov and bpv...Have done so for about 20k miles...never had an issue. Been tuned by two different tuners and they've never said anything. I had hahns block off plate and it got a bunch of flutter and crap so I got rid of it.

That's because your aftermarket valve is doing nothing. The stock one will always open before the other one. I installed a turbosmart BOV with my Treadstone Pipes and it was giving me problems. So, I put the stock BPV back in while I waited for a new charge pipe without a BOV flange, and the Turbosmart didn't open at all with the stock BPV in place.

OP, Unless you have a turbo swap and can no longer use the Stock BPV, get rid of the new BOV. You don't need it and it's only going to create problems.

the stock BPV will open yes, but the BOV still releases most of the air, i was told running it like that the BPV will be used at parking lots speeds and low boost but anything over that the HKS will take over, and i can hear my HKS pretty much all the time so i dont not believe what he told me

My bov is definately venting Seems to me like these cars are real finiky about certain things, bov's being one of them. Some people can run both with no problems. Others can't. Some people can run the block off plates...some can't. Kinda sucks.
