Boost leak help!

heres the problem...i installed a blitz sus power intake a while ago...the car spools up wayyyyy slower than stock...it feels like my car has no acceleration at all...i thought it could be solved by resetting my ECU..i did that...nothing happened... i checked all my pipes...they all are sealed tight... i dunt think there is a leak.....i thought it could be my BOV problem..since i heard many people say the stock BOV leaks...but it felt fine before i installed the Blitz intake... anyone know what im talkin about? help me out... my car feel like a cheap honda car...

your intake sucks. get the stock back on there.

Are you feeling any high end power increase? that's what those short rams usually help on.

Do you have a boost gauge? If not, why not? If you do have one, then do you notice a big drop in boost as RPMs climb? Take off the Blitz intake and put your stock one back and see if the problem rectifies itself. If problem is fixed then throw Blitz in trash...

Get your intake probs sorted out before you think of replacing your BOV.

The HKS SSQ BOV is kinda picky, so you want to have a solid foundation to build on first.

You said you checked everything...did you check the vacume lines too?

Well, change the intake out to stock and test it out. That's what I'll suggest.

That and go get your boost gauge. It should be the first thing you buy on any turbo car.

you need to take it off, if you still have the maf sensor installed. i had the same prob. its reading to much airflow.

get a reflash or put the stock one back on. youll lose 15 to 40 hp depending on your luck. i lost about 35. thats when i tossed the stock ecu and put in an autronic. no more maf. and the blow off can vent into the atmosphere.
