i started messing with the bov and now it wants to boost but i hear the the wooosh before i even shift and it wont go fast...it feels like it wants to but it lags when it goes woosh

NOPR

adjust the blow off valve to open at a higher boost pressure, its probably set too low and releasing all your boost at like 2 psi.

You should be seeing good boost if you mash the pedal at about 3500 in 2nd gear

you have a charge pipe that has blown off... have to if... if you try ideling it hold you had over the opening of the BOV and see if its pulling vacuume. if not than you have a boost leak .. maybe the elbow at the throttle body or by the BOV.. double check all of you claps..after you do that check them again and make sure the couplers are all the way on the pipes... see if that helps.. if yoiu have to remove all the pipes and reinstall them.

gotrotors?

yep if your hearing whoosh, i think you blew the pipe off going to throttle body. done it a thousand times (seriously)

Definitely blew something off. Remove your TMIC and then reinstall it with everything tight--like others have mentioned, it's likely that the 'lower' TMIC hose has popped off the TB inlet. Then go back and poke over all of your vac/boost lines to make sure everything is set up properly.

Hopefully you'll be enjoying your new turbo shortly.

I would throw that piece-of-**** BOV away.
It has a tendency to jam the valve in the bore.
I would open the BOV and check to see if it's been doing this...
