Greddy RS BOV Installed but its not working!

I got my greddy RS installed this AM but its not releasing air when I let off the throttle. What could possibly be causing this? My old Blitz did the same thing and I just assumed it was old and then bought the greddy. So my question is, where should I tee the recirc hose coming from the BOV?

Thanks guys!

thanks for the replies.

Seximagtr- I checked the vacuum line from the BOV and it does have vacuum. I have that line t-ed into the line coming from my FMU. Does this sound okay?

Maxinprogress-no Im not selling it, I just got my charge pipe welded with the greddy flange this morning so theres no going back now.

Kevlo-I'll play with the soft/ hard settings after work and see what happens.

Thanks again for everyones help.

It should be releasing Air at idle...if its doing that, then there is no reason why it wont work after you come off boost...you would have a TON of compressor surge

not necessarily - what do you mean by broke it?... if it's just the screw - buy a new one, retap if needed.

yeah he broke the adjustment screw on top, it snapped off and part of the screw is still in the BOV. Do you think I can take it apart and tap out the old screw and re-tap a new one?
