Sam never made it in i guess, im going off the fact that i never got a phone call back from him.

I fixed it! they sent me too strong of a BOV spring. me and a few others tried to get the BOV to open up by pushing on it and we all struggled and couldnt get it to open even half way. I had my PMA and production officer (i work with pumps, valves etc... on submarines) and they said it seemed to be for a 40-50psi setup. I think maybe there was a bit of exageration but i think their not too far off.

i double and triple checked my vaccum lines coming on the intake manifold that connect to the BOV's and they are very strong. A buddy of mine let me try his 6 psi BOV on the car and it opened up great! the the issue was easily not the install. i went to a couple places to see about a spring but only offered me the BOV's which is not what i wanted to do.

looking at my options i decided that cutting the spring is my best solution. we cut the spring 1ish coil at a time and after a 1/4 of the spring being cut, the valve finally opened. the spring is still harder then my friends but soft enough that it actually works.

the car now runs great and fish tail alot in 3rd which was pretty wild to me.

so problem fix now moving on...
