You have to remove the bov and cap the stock tube. I used a rubber cap from home depot. That exact thing happened to me when I put my greddy type RS on the hard pipes and disconected the stock bov.

its the rubber feet used for the bottom of chairs, I got a 1" that fit over the short piece of hose that goes from the y-pipe to the bov. You could also go to an auto parts store and pick up i believe 7/8" heater cap.
