S4 to S5 Turbo Swap....Now Issues

I need some help folks. After swapping out the S4 turbo for the S5 unit, I started it up. Now when I rev it, it seems to take forever for the revs to drop back down. If anyone has had this problem or has any ideas as to what the problem might be, please let me know.

Thanks!

Forgot to mention that I also did the TID mod and the DIY blow-off valve as well.

Will the car idle? It sounds like the problem is with your DIY bov.

The car idles great. It's just when I blip the throttle, it takes a while for the revs to come back down.

When I blip the throttle, it will rev up, stay for two seconds at that rpm, and then slowly drop back down. Maybe three seconds from 2k rpm's to normal idle.

I did not mess with the throttle body or the TPS.

Checked the check valve, it's working properly. Thanks for the help though.

Could it be that my MAF (s4) is on an angle or is this an intake/vacuum leak?

it sounds to me that you have a vac leak somwhere! if that is the case then you need to have someone start the car hold a stady iddle preferable arround 1000 then listen for hisses under the hood particularely arround the intake... These are usually where these occur.
