SS/TC Boost Tubing W/BOV Problems

Hey guys!

I just installed my Boost Tubing from Clear Image Automotive, but we have had some problems.

Installed: Cold Air Intake W/MAF relocated, Boost Tubing w/Greddy BOV, Hot and Cold.

Few Problems

I can't build full boost anymore, right now its only boosting about 2psi if that and i threw a CEL because we were testing out everything. At one point it was boosting 12-15psi but now it has gone down and i didn't wanna push it until i posted here.

During the install i realized that i lost my BPV block off plate so i didn't install it just to see how it would run, so is that the problem?

Also I'm getting some flutter from the bov, I'm guessing thats from the tightening and untightning to get it perfect?


HELP

I just ran a T from the vacuum lines to both the bpv and the nov, when i first run it, it runs pretty good, but about 2 minutes into the ride, it no longer can hold boost.

exactly haha i just wanted to make sure, plus if there is NO LINE hooked up to the BPV and it is still attached, that means it is just staying closed right? and not releasing any pressue??

actually you don't really need to retune if you DONT maf-relocate. If you DO you need to tune for it.

Who told you you could relocate the MAF without a tune? LOL Your going from the stock draw through MAF design to a blow through system. It changes the whole dynamic LOL

Def get vince to tune that ASAP.
