Why did you replace the stock diverter valve with an aftermarket BOV? I suggest that you remove the aftermarket piece and replace it with the stock DV.

EDIT: I just think that it might be worth trying, strictly for comparative reasons. Maybe in the process you'll solve the issues that you are experiencing.

ok ok if im reading this right he has a hole in im guessing the upper iintercooler pipe? If thats the case then i don't know how you can't figure out what the problem is. Hole in the pipe were there should be no hole equals escape route for charged air= lack of charged air in the intake= no ***** for your car. Hope that helps
