BOV's not blowing off??

x1xlp · Jan 24th, 2007, 07:32 AM

yesterday me and my friend installed new blowoff valves in my car and it seemed like we did it fine, connected the vaccum tubes, plugged the recirculation tubes from the stock ones and put everything back together fine, so i went for a test drive right after and couldnt hear anything blowing off, so we went back and made it looser so it would blowoff easier, so i went for another test drive and we could hear it blowing off a little bit, but thats as loose as it will go. is this suppose to happen because my cars stock and runs low boost right now or is there something i need to fix?

nevermind i took the ebay ones off and reinstalled the stock ones but left off the recirculation tubes so they would blow off into open atmosphere and now when my car idles the revs keep swinging back and forth between 500rpm and 2000rpm and when it gets near 500rpm the lighst dim a little bit for a second then it jumps back up and repeadedly does this. what do i need to do to fix that, reinstall the recirc's?
