just fitted BOV - now cuts out out when I rev it - any ideas ?

hey guys I have just fitted a BOV and now when I rev the engine to say 5000rpm it wants to cut out unless I catch it when its droping off. otherwise I can start it and it will idle at 700rpm.
apart from that it sounds realy cool and very loud!

Has anyone else had this problem.

I have put it in place of the stock one and this one is not a re-circulating one so I am not sure if this is the reason why.

yeah it backfires if I do that - what does that mean ?
But if I let totaly off, it goes whoosh and all is good I think ?
It will tick over now as well the revs still drop off to like 100rpm then it rises to 700rpm.
done the TID mod this morning too.
I might get round to putting this billet flywheel and twin plate paddle clutch on of these days too.

Sounds like you have a serious vacuum leak. Common place is where the TID meets the turbo.
