How many washers did you add? I think 4-5 washers are needed for stock boost.

Hey Perrin,

IIRC you were doing the fmic install. You can reuse the stock bov w/ ~20 bucks in parts. You just need a flange and a length of radiator hose

PM me for details if you need help. You should not use aftermarket BOV unless stock isn't working - some aftermarkets leak unmetered air in at idle
