problems with bov's?

ok so i installed an hks ssbov and when they installed it they left the other stock 2 bovs unplugged and it messed up my boosting when i tried to put a manual boost controller on my car i couldnt boost more psi....so i went to my friend and he plugged the stock bovs back so all the bovs are connected and i took out the manual boost controller off and just a T is in place of it and it now boosts 11 max when i push the pedal.. what should i do with the stock bovs so the hks one can run of the twin turbos????

It's hard to understand what exactly you did from your post, but basically why do you want to make the car even more complex than it is.

If your car functioned correctly with the stock BOV there is no real benefit to getting something from the aftermarket. In fact, it is widely held that even if your stock BOV is malfunctioning, it is better to get a replacement stock BOV.

With that said, some people do choose to spend all that money and go with an aftermarket BOV. You cannot just "disconnect" the stock BOV and CRV and not expect there to be problems.

In order for the sequential system to work properly the rear CRV must be connected and functioning. The proper way to disable the front BOV is to remove it completely, seal the signal line and seal the hole in the intake manifold for the stock BOV.

So, where exactly did you put your HKS bov?

Does it have the flange for the stock turbos?

CRV = Charge Relief Valve

It's used to vent excess boost as the secondary turbo is pre-spooled. Once the transistion starts, the CRV closes. You need to keep it on the car.
