Installed BOV, now car feels slower!!

installed a greddy type s bov the other day. i done the spring mod. i'm having two problems.

1. having a hard time getting boost not to spike. spikes if i try to run more than 19 psi

2. My car feels slower than before. even my girlfriend said something about it being slower!! it is not the fastest evo but i have ran a 8.3 1/8 mile so its not slow!!!

please help, i like the sound of the greddy but i'm to the point where i want my stock bov back!!!

Mods

3' full exhuast, greddy profec b II (trying to run 20.5), dynoflash, buschur intake, ground kit, walbro 255

umm... weird. Mine actually seems like the car is smoother and pulls harder. Did you have the adjustment screw set correctly? Or is the bov installed correctly?

no same sound as stock. Take the bov back off take it back apart and check the spring the seat and reinstall. Also do you have the line from the intake manifold going to the top nipple or bottom and do you have either one plugged?

Sounds the same as stock. I had the type s and loved the sound, but had problems with it on my car and only mine Do you have an intake pipe? If not get one and you will notice the bov more.

Only way to find out if it is slower......

Run it at the tracks.. Butt dyno is always deceiving.
