Pic of greddy bov

Can someone show me a pic of how their greddy bov is hooked up. I think i have mine hooked up wrong causing the bov to open and bleeding of my boost. I have a vac line hooked up to the big fitting, but the bottom (small) vac fitting i have open to atmosphere

Here how mine is hooked up. See that bottom silver vac fitting. Is that supposed to be hooked up to something?

thats what i thought.

Could my guage be out of calibration even if i am reading correct vaccum? The thing that is stumping me is that the car still feels fast a $hit. I mean if i was hitting only 4 psi running 19"wheels with a auto i don't think it would be very quick. At the track a few months back i ran a 14.3 untuned/19"wheels/and no vb mod, so i don't think i would run that on 4psi.

I just disconnected the recirculation hose for the BOV for the first time. It sounded pretty cool

. But after a few rev's my car sounded like it backfired. Is that normal when running the BOV open to atomosphere since my MAF is before the BOV?

Why is your MAF before the BOV? You put it on the inlet side of the blower? That is a lot of work. Why?

5th gen SC kits have the MAF placed before the blower.

You can still release metered air from the bov on a 5th gen with no problem. Your not going to gain anything but sound but it should run right after it adjusts itself...
