Like i said it might be irrelevent but worth a shot. Try to dedicate a line just for the BOV...i would think this as well as your FPR should not be T'd off together...I think i figured a way to dedicate vacum for both of those without T'ing them off to something else...
Maybe this is overkill, but i would think that its important...specially with your FPR and BOV

I have a ssq knock off and it needed a dedicated line, after that it worked fine no problems. The surging at lower psi doesn't do much it's at the higher boost where the damage comes in.

Lol, well i completey re organized all my vacuum lines when i did my VI swap...but we have hella extra places to run lines into the VI plenum...TOO many i thought, i think i have one hole still plugged that im not using...or maybe not? i cant remember..
There are alot of other sensors recieving vacum that can all be T'd off...check out some of those...Ill have to look how i did mine, i cant remember how its all setup to be honest...

Lol I had one at the turbo. I fixed a bunch of things today:
- Installed Nismo FPR
- Installed Summit Racing Fuel Pressure Gauge
- Changed turbo V-Band (old was broken)
- Cleaned BOV and piping after intercooler (too lazy to clean the intercooler)
- Fixed Oil leaks at turbo and changed the drain gasket
- Remounted the oil pump so it is quieter
- Redid PCV system
- Moved boost controller to the rear
So like 2 cap full of oil came out the BOV pipe lol so that might be why it was not working. The reason I had all that oil is because of the old turbo and old jets. Bunch of oil got in the pipes but most of that is gone now
I am too tired to go out and drive it but I will in a few hours. I need to change the oil and I am set to tune

I have yet to install a boost controller on mine, but can you explain why you "moved" it back to the rear of the car? Was it not making accurate adjustments far away from the turbo?
When i got my kit from Maxboost, he gave me everything in a rubbermade container (a BIG one) and there musta been about 2 quarts of oil on the bottom of the container...EVERYHING was covered in oil. and the BOV had a bunch of oil in it too! I just wiped it down and mildly clean it, i didnt even really spray any carb cleaner in the BOV i just wiped it down and when i was first doing boost runs in the car, everything infront of the BOV was covered in oil haha. It just blew everything out after a few runs, i doubt the oil really does any damage to it, i think you may just have a defective part or something is up...
Oh well, get a new BOV i guess...
BTW, im jelous...I could never get that stupid autotune to work on my EU
ughhh lol

Autotune is working well. I just upped the BASE FP to about 42. This makes the under vac psi above 50. And with the 1:1 boost/fp increase. I shouldn't run lean in the boost range. Yesterday I was in the 12's and I dont think I stayed in boost long enough(car is quite fast) for the autotune to make corrections. I do NOT want to max out 3rd/4th just yet(still don't think BOV is full function).
The fluttering is alot less but I can't really hear a PSHHHHHHHH. So I am kinda confused. I def need to wrap my exhaust pipe all the way to the turbo to help the spool/turbo lag.
Now I just hope the clutch holds up I would have pics but I dunno where the camera is 
Hwy mileage is still 27-32 mpg Depends if I am going 60-80mph.

Keeps slipping at the 3" to 2" reducer. I am gonna add a T-Bolt clamp there (yes I know I should not have any hose clamps but damn they are expensive lol) Also do you guys have pics of how your maf is held? I believe since it moves so much that is why my pipe keeps coming out.

I am suprised that your having a problem with yours since i did mine kinda ghetto...
What i ended up doing is making a bracket that holds the piping coming up from the bottom of the tranny that is bent toward the transmission bell housing where i thread a bolt thru the bracket and use one of the empty spots on the tranny...
Thats the ONLY thing i have holdint the piping in the engine bay and it works great...i figured since the tranny moves just as much as the motor that it was sufficient...
If i remember i will snap a pic of it tonight, but im sure its very similar to what you have im assuming...

What are you bolting the piping too tho? Did you make a bracket to the tranny like i did?
You should def have SOMETHING holding it once it goes past the tranny...
Also, boost leak may be coming from the cork gasket thing for your MAF adaptor...i had to tighten the CRAP out of mine, so much i cracked my MAF
Thank god for mighty puddy tho! haha it fixed it right up! and got rid of the leak lol!!

No I don't have the pipes held to anything yet, that's why I was trying to get ideas 
Yea I wasn't sure weather or not I should keep the cork gasket or not. But that wasn't the leak problem.
