installed greddy elbow and type-s bov, only 5psi
any ideas?
checked for air leaks twice (about to do it for the third time). vacuum line from the UIM to the bov is new so it shouldn't have any cracks in it.
the bov is adjustable (hard <-- --> soft) , i'm gonna gradually adjust it harder after every test run until i get 10psi, if i even do. also gonna try going softer if harder doesn't work.
any help to get this done quicker would be appreciated.
thanks

maybe you are leaking boost by the bov or go for a test drive and you can hear if ur bov is leaking.

sorry if this is a little hard to follow
1. greddy bov + stock bov NOT in place (meaning the hose to the Y-pipe is vented to the atmosphere) = 5psi
2. greddy bov still hooked up + stock bov IN place BUT vaccum line NOT hooked up = 8psi
3. stock set-up (greddy bov unhooked + stock bov IN place and vaccum line hooked up) = 10psi
anyone help me work from #2... i'm thinking the hose to the y-pipe should not be vented freely like in #1 so the stock bov closes it up but since the vacuum line is off nothing is actuating it. i'm not totally sure about how the stock bov works but do you think boost is leaking out of the vented vacuum line?

try pluging the hose. If you leave the stock BOV in place but not huck up it will leak also that's why you get the 8 psi

I have the same setup and I have the nipple at the y-pipe capped off and stock bov NOT in place. However, I'm in the process of trying to locate a boost leak myself, not related to this though.
