BOV not BLOWING OFF
Just got my car back from the shop, new rebuild installed and not my bov isn't blowin off! Its pissin me off! What could make it not work? The vac line off the bov is going into the upper intake manifold and everything seems fine, any help would be appreciated!

Don't even try to boost the motor until you break it in.

I R SAD PANDA W/O BAW
^ agreed.
Take off your BOV and run some carb cleaner through it and manual open the piston a few times to work out any gunk in there. Have you tried adjusting the spring tension on the BOV?

How is it possible to not boost with any kind of wastegate. Boost builds till the spring PSI thresh-hold is reached, you can't change that. Unless you pull open the wastegate with a friggen cable or something, the integrated ones that is.
