Stalling problems...

Ok to be truthfull I haven't actuall stalled yet...

Here's the deal, I recently had my car tuned and all was perfect. I just installed a MBC today and now when I start from a stop in 1st it seems like I am about to stall. It bogs down big time, so now I've been giving it more rpm's everytime I take off.

My MBC is Forge and it's set to approx. 20 -21 lbs. I've checked for boost leaks already and all of my intercooler piping and intake is in place as well... Any ideas as to why now my car is doing this??

my car has had that intake for over a year now before a tune, and even after the tune it was even better...

now after the MBC, because that the only thing thats changed since today, my car is bogging down from a stop...

make sure the MAF plug is plugged in all the way, however unlikely you should check Anyways and do you have any thing else done to your car that is not in your sig? Like a BOV, Try the stock airbox too.

there's no way that it could be my intake... perhaps the MAF which is worth a double check, but I literally hooked up the MBC today and left the parking lot to slowly raise the boost and I almost stalled, and then did it again like 10 times...

edit. i have the stock BOV

when you disconnected the factory boost solenoid did you leave the harness plugged in and cap every un-used nipples?

When i did my MBC i hooked into a Tee off the BOV line and the wastegate and capped the turbo outlet, the intake tube nipple and both of the solenoid connection and left the solenoid plugged in.

Why would my stock BOV be the cause of my problems?

Now it's making more sense, when setting up the MBC I hit 25 pounds a couple times, maybe I broke my BOV and now it's leaking maybe??
